One day, two songs

Congratulations to OpShop for winning the APRA Silver
Scroll award for song of the year: "One Day" is a good
song all right. But shouldn't Jim Steinman get some of the
credit? He wrote "Two Out of Three Ain't Bad" for Meatloaf
and every time I hear the opening line of "One Day" I hear
the same tune as "Two Out of Three." Isn't there some rule
about copyright being breached if five notes in a row are
identical?
