In the red corner, Avril Lavigne - Girlfriend.

In the blue corner, The Rubinoos - I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend.

The Rubinhoos are saying she stole their song and used it in Girlfriend. Avril's 'people' are saying it isn't and have hired a 'musicologist', who has said that they are completely different and not the same at all, and that the song was a minor hit in 1979 and she was born in 1984 so what are the chances of her even knowing the Rubinoos song?

It goes to court on August 28th.

Altogether now. "Hey, hey, you, you, I wanna be your boyfriend/girlfriend"

Look after my manor, or I will bum you, literally, to death.

That article has a fascinating spelling of Chantal Kreviazuk's name.

Yep, it was on the radio today too and people texted in that they should both shut up because they both ripped off the Stones .

Being born in 1984 means she's never heard it? I was born in 1982, and I've certainly heard it.
