It's funny how perspective reveals the fallacy of coincidence.
To you, it seems an uncanny coincidence. To me, it seems someone heard the song and then saw this post.
Given all the people who see this post, I am not surprised one of them heard that song recently.
It’s not a fallacy to call that a coincidence. The point of coincidences are that they’re unconnected events.
So, perhaps ironically, it would be more of a fallacy to say this wasn’t a coincidence.
However you are right that coincidences are easy to manufacture through volume of samples.
