Why on earth did Bobby Vinton's song Mr. Lonely get sampled for Akon's Lonely? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I was listening to music and I found Akon's Lonely and I can't figure out why this song sampled Bobby Vinton's hit Mr. Lonely and when I listened to Akon's Lonely I found it weird to hear Bobby Vinton's voice speeded up for this song and I cannot believe that Akon had his first hit with Lonely but they should've had a different singer sing the intro because Mr. Lonely is one of Bobby Vinton's most loved songs and Akon ruined it by sampling it. Did Bobby Vinton ask Akon to use Mr. Lonely as a sample when Bobby saw Akon recording Lonely?

Hi, Bestie! I never heard Akon version of Mister Lonely, but as he is hip hop, it probably had Vinton singing all twisted up, while Akon grunted and talked. I do not like hip hop. It is unoriginal and full of plagerism of real talent by hacks.
