Yep; even in the same key! Could be a coincidence, but I wouldn't place a bet on it.
Not quite as blatant, but do you think Extreme heard this:
... before coming up with this?
I can't speak for Hannibal, but that song Manfred Mann recorded was written by Bob Dylan. it's completely reworked and a lot longer than the original. I like it.
Musical borrowing goes on all the time, there are only eight notes in the scale and the last original tune was written in 1974. Everything since then is either a cover or a revision.
I believe Hannibal did their own thing, - hadn't heard that theme from anyone but them. And this comes from a 1970 record, Hannibal's only album. Solar Fire, if I'm not mistaken, was released in '73, - so we can hear the Dylan's song consists not only of Dylan's music I do not blame Mann, but I suspect he borrowed that riff from Hannibal - nothing unusual, except no cries for justice from Hannibal's heirs after all these years))
Sorry to pick both your nits: There are 12 Total Notes to use within Western Music's spectrum....My goodness, music would be SO boring if we just stuck with the 7 notes for the sake of Diatonic perfection - Modes like Harmonic Minor would never exist if we decided to stick with just the 7 Diatonic notes within the Major scale and Classical Music would never have Pagnini.........
Still, at 12 notes, there are bound to be redundancies .............
I also attribute the subconscience: Having heard a piece of music with a "hook" firmly imbedded into the listener, that listener evolves into a musician and recalls that "hook" and crafts it as his/her own, even if the source had long been forgotten

Im not debating personal taste - Im just stating that there are 12 Notes, not 7, to use in songwriting as a statement of fact....Weather or not the songwriter's chooses to use all those notes is their choice but doesnt take away the fact that there are 12 notes, not 7, at their disposal
....besides, if they didnt use just those 7 notes, modern songwriters would all have to throw away their beloved Auto-Tunes
