The producer Timbaland seems to have used a six year old song from a finish musician and used it for the song "Do it" by Nelly Furtado.

See my first video for more details about that:

New information has now come up that suggests that not only did he use it for the Nelly Furtado track, but also to sell "his own original ringtones" a year earlier.

Watch this video to see for yourself!

I would like to add something else too: the point of these videos was to show the similarities between the songs. For some reason that is completely foreign to me, some users feel that this is the forum to express their hateful and racist comments about other people. I WILL NOT TOLERATE SUCH BEHAVIOUR! If you want to comment the videos, that is fine, but BE ADULT ABOUT IT! If the only thing that you can think of writing is something you wouldn't like said about yourself then don't write it.

If the hateful and racist comments continue, I will simply disable the commenting-feature.

Thank you for your time. (less info)
