How about when
You say something and then someone on the telly/radio says the same thing? (Or you read something and then someone who's in the room with you says the same thing, etc.). I would be curious to find an explanation for this.

Coincidence.
Sometimes things happen by chance; and you're more likely to notice it when the song in your head is on the radio than when it isn't.

people greatly underestimate the power of coincidence

Spot on.
You read/think/see millions and millions of things, every now and again two things are bound to coindide and of course you notice it and it feels weird.

But it would actually be weirder if it never happened at all. Although you wouldn't notice that it was weird.

I didn't explain that very well.
