She's like so whatever
A few months ago I woke up with that Girlfriend song in my head. And now the punk princess is being sued because it is a rip off of a song by the Rubinoos called I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend. You may know them for the theme song from Revenge of the Nerds. Yeah, right. Naturally, all of this talk of this song has brought back the plague of Avril Lavigne. Damn. That song is back in my head. So here is a video that puts the claim made by the Rubinoos to the test. You decide which version is crappier.

Well, the Rubinoos make me damn glad the 70s are over with.
that's a little harsh, mad, I'm sure there were some good things to come out of the seventies besides me and saturday morning cartoons. I did read that Avril's people have responded to the claim that they ripped of that Rubinoos song by saying that they stole their version from the Rolling Stones' Get Off of My Cloud
The Rubinoos are great! They're an honest to goodness REAL Berkeley garage band with great Power Pop writing talents and Harmonies just shy of the Beach Boys and The Raspberries.
... as opposed to some pretty pretend-punk-no-talent-corporate-rock-almost-a-model with the 80s piss-holes-in-the-snow eye makeup... Gimmie a break.

PS: Hey Pineapple... you like Saturday Morning Cartoons? The Rubinoos even did a song with that title. Now you know where they come from.
