The act of recording a sound from a Record, Microphone or any other Audio Source into a Computer is called "Sampling" and typically in Hip Hop or any other type of song, you use a small Sample...normally 2-3 Seconds. In this case an entire song was sampled with drumbeat and Nellys vocals added.
Watch this clip:

It demonstrates how The original, ringtone and "Do It" is the same song.
No again you cannot make the mistake of thinking "Acid Jazzed Evening" is from a Video Game. Both the original versions for the Commodore 64 and Amiga version are available you can play the Amiga Version in "Winamp" and if you look at the File Info, you can see the authors name and year composed. Same with the C64 Remix by Glen you can use an Emulator to play the Original Commodore 64 file and again you will see the Credits. So there is no confusion as who made the songs.
Sorry if I sound like going into a rant
not trying to.
I hope in the end Timbaland and the Record company do the right thing and at the very least give proper credit for where the song came from.
The first time I heard about this story, I loaded the Original Amiga song and than Nellys "Do It" and I couldnt believe my ears....Main lead sound, Bassline everything. was copied.
I can e-mail you an MP3 of the original song if you'd like than you can compare it for yourself.
Nelly should get a refund for spending good money on Timbaland.
