Eric Prydz – “Call On Me”
Steve Winwood’s song “Valerie,” which he first recorded in 1982, was the inspiration for this. The original recording was sampled in the first version of Prydz’s track, but when asked for his approval, Winwood reportedly offered to re-sing the vocals to better fit the track when asked to give his approval.

Billy Joel – “Uptown Girl”
Billy Joel said on Australian TV in 2006: “The song was originally called ‘Uptown Girls’ not ‘Uptown Girl.’ I know it’s associated with Christie but when I started to write that song I had recently divorced prior to meeting her, all of the sudden I’m a rock star and divorced. All these women were going to go out with me.”
