Well yeah you're pretty much right. The track started out as a remix of 'Steve Winwood - Valerie' by Retarded & Mafia but they didn't release it 'cause they didn't see the potential in the track and they couldn't get the rights to the vocals. Eric did however see the potential and got the rights to the vocals and made the track.

This might seem a little off topic or stupid but i always wonderd what happend with call on me, i remember hearing it as Dj Falcon & Thomas Bangalter - call on me and noone knew what it was then it was on the radio a few months later and it was by eric prydz. Both versions sounded pretty similar

basically they cant do anything, its a remix of your work, they cant sell it off as their own. But you shouldnt really pay them, not unless the original has already been signed & you're contemplating on using said artist' remix for the release. But no one would be ripping your hard work off as its a remix, not the original track.

The reason it was titled as being by Thomas Bangalter and DJ Falcon is because when it was ripped as an mp3 file the group that ripped it named it "Thomas Banglater & DJ Falcon - Call On Me".
