Musical Coincidence?

Peter Rukavina

Here are the opening lines to the song But I do Love You, popularized by its presence in the movie Coyote Ugly:

I don’t like to be alone at night
And I don’t like to hear I’m wrong when I’m right
And I don’t like to have the rain on my shoe
But I do love you.
Now compare this to the opening lines to the song I Don’t Like your Fish, which I wrote in 1991:
I don’t like your fish,
I don’t like them one bit
I don’t like the way they look at me
I don’t like the way the shit [all over the place]
But I sure, yes I sure, do love you.
Hmmmm.
