Avril Lavigne is a Dirty Dirty Thief
In total gloatworthy news, professional fuckwit Avril Lavigne is facing a lawsuit from a 1970’s rock band claiming that her hit song “Girlfriend” is a blatant rip-off of one of their songs. The NY Daily News has the scoop:
Songwriters Tommy Dunbar and James Gangwer alleged in a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court that Lavigne and her co-writers lifted their 1979 song “I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend,” which was originally performed by new wave band The Rubinoos.
“We are not so naive as to chalk it up to some sort of cosmic coincidence,” Dunbar said in a statement Thursday. “The lyric, the meter, the rhythm — they’re identical.”
A spokeswoman for Lavigne declined comment.
Now every damn time either Abby or I trash old FangFace McFugly, scores of “loyal” Avril fans operating under the “cover of internet anonymity” come out of the woodwork to tell us how jealous we are. Drink it in, legions of fans, drink it in — Your precious Avril needs a) co-writers to b) steal a song that c) totally sucks ass regardless. Miss Punk Rock USA can’t even steal without fucking it up! You just know that before she got famous, Avril was the girl always getting caught shoplifting Lip Smackers from the CVS.
After the jump, more photos of Avril in an awesome pink tiara signing autographs for her fans, instead of spitting on them or giving them the finger — for once.

Yeah, she’s totally “punk rock” with a fucking pink tiara and bunny t shirt. Everyone of her songs sounds like it belongs on the soudntrack for a straight to DVD Disney movie. I give it a year before she tries to release a “Best Of” CD and ends up deep throating a twelve gauge in a Motel 6.

She’s Miss Punk Rock Canada! Don’t you try to steal that from us. She grew up on the streets of Belleville Ontario and if that doesn’t scream punk to you… well… then you’re probably quite sensible. Still, I wouldn’t kick her out of bed for eating crackers (looks at groin), right crackers?

Soooo, Abby… Where do you think all the hardcore Avril-ites are today? Crying in their Kool-Aid and stuffing their pudgy, 14 year old faces full of Bagel Bites, mayhap?

Whaaaaa???
Yes, I am a Canadian and as such have the daunting task of claiming this no talent having, fugly, irritating to the point of suicide DOUCHEBAG as one of our own. While I couldn’t be more proud to be Canadian, i am a tad concerned about our reputation in the world market considering this dumbass rolled out of whatever ditch she came out of while we were still trying to defend ourselves against Celine Dion….
grrrrrrrrr……..

Sorceressss
Canadian #2 chiming in here, yes, we are all quite ashamed of her and the fugly snaggletooth plageriser that she is….
(sigh)

At least you Canadians have Celine Dion to be proud of. The USA has what, a chicken head ripper named Ozzy?

Um… Ozzy’s British is he not. Celine was a bit of a low blow don’t you think, let’s be civil.
ps I thought it was clear that I was Canadian, Clearly Canadian ™.

she has always been an fake, fugly idiot that will always whore herself out fir record company dollars, she is pathetic, I mean what kind of married “Woman” still writes songs like she is 16 years old?…just for record sales and this talentless dork is and NEVER will be punk.
It’s no surprise that she has ripped off someone’s elses song…please Vanish Avril YOU SUCK

Hate That Heifer
It’s obvious this little poser doesn’t write her own songs, or her record label wouldn’t be working on a settlement already.
She’s probably telling the truth - she didn’t write Girlfriend. All her songs have someone else’s name attached.
And when did tacky-assed celebutard tracks that don’t match the real bleach job become ‘punk rock’? She is just disgusting.
She outed her own lame ass years ago when she couldn’t pronounce David Bowie’s name. Stupid cooze.

If she had the $#@^* to steal a song you’d think it would at least be a good one!

Not that I’m a fan of Avril’s, but — you could at least do what some of the music blogs have done and put the Avril version and the Rubinoos version side by side so that people can decide for themselves. Y’all are making assumptions and passing them onto your readers, who take them at face value (judging by the vitriol they spew, they’re itching for excuses to shit on the first target that comes along) and the whole thing degenerates into the sickening muck you see before you. Just another generic snark-blog. yawn.
And for the record, Avril’s version is actually pretty far removed from the Rubinoos, who (why hasn’t ANYBODY pointed this out in the comments?) are probably just tryiing to seek out some sort of limelight after all these years of being total nobodies.

“Not that I’m a fan of Avril’s” - HA HA.
“they’re itching for excuses to shit on the first target that comes along”. Pretty much. A bit of sickening muck never hurt nobody.
…Although we don’t need too many excuses to shit on a talentless hack like Avril. I don’t care who wrote “girlfriend”, I fucking hate that song with a raging passion and I hope Avril dies a horrible death.

Shes a thief plain and simple. She listens to songs and adds stuff to it but that doesnt mean its original. Shes lazy ignorant and rude and in my opinion, an embarrassment to Canadians everywhere. Plus shes in her 20s and acts like shes 14. I believe she feels that if she acts retarded then she will get away with everything shes doing. I dont believe she will change if she is found guilty on this one. it obvious she has gotten away with this before and probably thinks that if only one is found out for every 8 songs put out, then its worth it. How sad.

Uh…what I’m most concerned about is that everyone’s talking about her copying that 1970’s band…but has anyone heard her copy of Peaches!!!??? This one is erm..let’s just say I cannot find the right word to describe just how ridiculous it is. It’s the kind of thing that makes you feel embarrassed for her just from listening to it. What a shame…
