One full day of playing failed to yield any results, but something caught Simon's attention on day two. "Paul goes, 'Hey, what's that?' We start playing what we have of it, and it is exactly what you hear on the record. So we're like, 'Oh, OK. We'll share this song.'" When Los Lobos found no trace of their names on the album's writing credits, they initially assumed that it had been an honest mistake. But when months went by with no restitution, the band's bemusement turned to anger. "It was not a pleasant deal for us," maintains Berlin. "I mean he quite literally – and in no way do I exaggerate when I say – he stole the song from us."
He claims that he brought to matter to Simon's attention and was met with the less-than-conciliatory response of, "Sue me. See what happens."
