You know Avril Lavigne’s song “Girlfriend”? It’s a terror to your ears. Well, it ain’t hers. She’s being sued for stealing it from some 1970’s group called The Rubinoos. Hot name. That trumps my three favorite potential band names - Horshack Test, Drug Money, and The Diary of Diane Frank. Hot, huh? How come no one ever wanted to start a band with me with hot band names like those?

A pair of U.S. songwriters allege her contagious single sounds suspiciously like a song called “I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend,” released by the Rubinoos in 1979.

Lavigne’s manager, Terry McBride, scoffed at the charges, calling the suit “baseless” and little more than a “case of legal blackmail.”

Mr. McBride should keep in mind that she’s becoming known for stealing. This Chantal lady didn’t stoop to sue her ass, but these guys from the 70’s are working the night shift at Wal-Mart and need the paper. Never underestimate what the night shift at Wal-Mart can do to your soul.
