If he were alive today, what would he (or The Resistance) think of the Rubinoos v. Avril Lavigne controversy currently brewing?

Fun fact: Avril's "songwriting partner" is called "Dr. Luke."

I heard the song they sound different. Except for the one line interchanging girlfriend and boyfriend.

[kenkwan]

I agree. I mean, how many songs are about wanting to be someone's "girlfriend" or "boyfriend"? 75%? There's bound to be some overlapping words melody.

[Gentleman Jim]

I think the point is they're saying she lifted the hook:

"Hey, (hey) You, (you), I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend" - Rubinoos

"Hey, (hey) You, (you), I Don't Like Your Girlfriend" - Avril


Same rhythm and they both repeat in the first and third lines of the chorus.

I'd bet that there's a small private settlement in their futures. It will be for less than the cost of litigating. If not, the Rubinoos will lose because they won't have deep enough pockets.

Evan Funk Davies definitively proved last week that the Rubinoos were ripping off "Get Off of My Cloud" anyway.   

I just hope Avril gets through this with her dignity and class intact.

Yes...........she has so much to lose...........and so talented...........

What irks me the most about her is that she claims to be "punk", gag.

I didn't fight in the Punk Wars for bleach blond teeny boppers on par with Ms. Spears to fly the Punk flag.

I wouldn't let the likes of A. Lavigne rile you up.  As the great Kelly Clarkson said to Chive Davis yesterday:

"You're 80; you're not supposed to like my album."

Anyone who fought in any kind of legit "Punk Wars" surely has enough scar tissue to withstand the horrors of teen pop.

[Richard_From_CHI]

I'm a delicate sort.

I'm going to post the clip of humorless bitch one person party Avril Lavigne on Popworld again.
