    See, I actually really like this track... It has really good energy! Not sure why people say it's the 'worst house track ever' ... clearly those people haven't checked out the state of house today. I do believe that this track is a bit repetitive, and it could be way more diverse and imaginative. Bottom line is that I think this is an excellent track that is mostly hated only because of the controversy surrounding it. Don't feel guilty about picking this one up, you'll enjoy it!

      Data Records would do promo presses for their big-hitters. If you refuse to pay the prices of this one, you may find a copy of this for cheaper... Just saying....

        Why people come on here to dis music they don’t like baffles me. Why bother who cares.
        Telling us why you might like a track is far more informative.

          One of the most boring tracks of 00's, and one of the worst house tracks of all times. I've been listening to house music since the early 90's til now, and i've rarely seen such a garbage of track to have become such a massive hit. This thing takes zero in every sense.

            Here's great video about the whole story of this track - How Eric Prydz stole "Call on Me" (but someone else stole it first)' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyYAiU4DKUY

              Since the comments are praising Prydz for this absolute iconic club banger, just a quick reminder that DJ Falcon and Thomas Bangalter (half of Daft Punk) "produced" this song first and played it at the Together & Cassius tour Live @ Pay & Go Groove City (23/11/2002). Since then they (together/ Falcon and bangalter) further worked on this song and often played it on DJ sets.
              Eric Prydz slightly changed their version and released it. There are interviews with David Guetta and DJ Falcon where they say they (together) were not aware that Prydz would release their song.

                The awkward silence when you’re watching the music video in the living room together with your parents.

                  15 years later, and still, Call on Me is an absolute belter.
                  Prydz's production is through the roof on this one, its so ridiculously simple but it hits hard.
                  As we all know the track hugely samples Steve WInwoods 'Valerie' and I actually heard somewhere he liked this tune so much he re-recorded the sample for Prydz - says it all really,
                  The original is still the best too in my opinion, simple, clean and effective; an absolute legend of a track and rightly deserves it's club anthem royalty.

                  And, who could forget that video - the sexiest 3 minutes known to man. It never takes itself too seriously but its an absolute genius piece of video making.

                    I hearing this first on MTV Dance as their "Future Anthem" where it just showed a white label being played on a technics 1210 with the tune accompanying it. I thinking then (a good 4-5 months before its release) that this would be a major hit, possibly a number 1. It was no surprise when it did hit number 1, especially after witnessing first hand the damage this tune did on a dance floor in Ibiza circa 2004.

                    Onto the tune, well, i actually love it. It's a solid groove that builds and builds when it hits a quiet breakdown. The sample is then cleverly worked in for that hands in the air/sing along moment on the dance floor. Then when it drops, it's a full on bass assault. It really has a slamming groove that still works today. The fact this record spawned loads of half baked imitations using other 80's samples, highlights how good this record is - despite what the haters say, i bet at some point, most of use have danced our assess off to this.

                    Prydz never sold out after this either, so credit to him. I dont think he planned it as a hit record, it's one of those "accidental hits". If it enables him to make his money so he can produce more underground tracks then fair play. Top tune.

                      The Filterheadz remix does it for me on this one. Although using a lot of elements from Yimanya and still being repetitive, it sounds very fresh after getting hammered with the original. The typical Filterheadz percussion makes it very danceable too.
