Does this song by Donna Summer sound familiar?

This one, "I Feel Love."

Doesn't a lot of it sound like the "Midnight Express" theme, that Art Bell used to use to start his show?

Coincidence?
Plagiarism?
Same musician?

(It’s worth noting that Zaentz and Fogerty weren’t on the best of terms in the first place. The same 1985 album that featured “The Old Man Down the Road,” Centerfield, also included the tracks “Mr. Greed” and “Zanz Kant Danz.” Critics and fans saw these songs as pointed attacks on Zaentz, and the label head initiated a separate $144 million defamation lawsuit that claimed Fogerty portrayed him as “a thief, robber, adulterer, and murderer.” The two sides settled that suit out of court.)
