controversial

Avril Lavigne / The Rubinoos, Girlfriend

I don't really wanna suggest one way or the other if this counts as plagiarism. I'll let someone else decide. Its just such a small and simple piece to copy -maybe thats the crime, cos it borders on genius perhaps- but is it really so unfeasable that two bad pop writers decades apart gave us "hey HEY, you YOU" as an excuse for lyrical content? I think someone needs to think long and hard about that mokey typewriter thing.

I wonder if one day we can just skip plagiarism and sue anyone releasing dodgy lyrics... Speaking of which enjoy Madge at LiveEarth.
