Apparently Avril is being sued for ripping off another band with her song Girlfriend. It is said to be exactly the same as the 1979 song I wana be your boyfriend by the Rubinoos.

But what kind of a name for a band is that - the Rubinoos? At least she didn't copy that!

Does anyone have a link to the original song?

well..its avril...i'm not surprised.
here you can find the orginial:

Sort of like Paris Hilton's song and UB40... did anyone hear the two played side by side? Very similar...

They are both bad songs.

I hate you all for listening to this rubbish. Top 40 music supports terrorism... ok i made that up... but really thats how bad it is.

avril always attracts controvery over ripping off songs, this isnt the first time i believe

Thats really interesting....its a good comparison - they mix and compare the songs here from the Girlfriend song (thanks to Kaz!)

They sound incredibly similar...but there is also a slight difference too.

This You tube link argues that they are NOT similar enough to have a law suit over

I dont know what do you guys think?

The verdict is both songs suck.
