Fun fact: It was released in 2003 by O-Zone .. only in Romania.

But in Italy Haiducii released an unauthorized cover in Italy which became a hit in 2004.

So, O-zone was salty (and rightfully so), because other countries were interested too, and so they re-released the track to other European countries.

This led to the situation that the Haiducii version was on our Dutch Top-40 in the T10 charts slightly earlier but the O-zone version catching up quickly (which ended up on nr 1).

These versions were nearly identical up to sample of the beep of the cellphone.
