Avril Lavigne is being accused of stealing parts of her song "Girlfriend" from a '70s tune called "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend." Having never heard either, I can't say a damn thing about whether Avril's song sounds like the other song or whatever. All I know is that Avril is pissed about the accusations, and has put her anger in website posting form:
You may have heard some news that two guys who wrote for some band from the 1970s I have never in my life heard of called the "Rubinoos" are trying to sue me. They have a song called "I Want To Be Your Boyfriend" that has no musical similarities to the song "Girlfriend" that Luke Gottwald and I wrote together. They claim that a small part of the lyrics are the same and are saying that I took these from them. I had never heard this song in my life and their claim is based on 5 words! All songs share similar lyrics and emotions. As humans we speak one language.
Off the top of my head, two other songs that I can immediately think of with this type of lyric are "Hey, hey, you, you get off of my cloud" by the Rolling Stones and "Hey little girl I want to be your boyfriend" by the Ramones. Simply put, I have been falsely accused of ripping their song off. Luke and I have done nothing wrong and there is no merit to their claim.
"As humans we speak one language." That's funny Avril - cause there's this human who lives across the hall from me who speaks Farsi, and I can't understand a fucking word he's saying. Guess the concept of thinking before typing never occurs to some people. By the way, no one really gives a shit whether you ripped your dumb song off or not. You are boring, and I laugh my butt off every time Perez rips you.

Ohhhh! That picture! It makes my pea-sized prepubescent brain scream out in glee! The middle finger is the MOST ORIGINAL WAY to thumb it to the authorities, as I have never, ever seen any celebrity do it before in my entire life, much less with a VERY COOL CIG dangling from their lips in the ultimate show of "I don't give a fuck". Oh, look at how tough her expression is! I'm going to need a new pair of skivvies after witnessing this photo! It's all I ever dreamed rebellion to be! Someday, when I graduate the 7th grade, I'm totally going to do that to one of my teachers in high school. It's going to be AWESOME!
Avril, you're a dumbass. Grow up, you sad cow.
The air head will be divorced within the year. Being married seems to have expanded her already bloated ego but we all know where that leads. Nowhere and divorced.
One language huh? Okay then, let me write in my language and se if you could read that. Here goes:
Oi pukimak babi guling, mati jer lah. Betina sial.
Okay, read that bitch. One language after all.
Quite helpful data, lots of thanks for this article.
