Avril Is Velly Sneaky

Odds are that you've heard Avril Lavigne's hit masterpiece Girlfriend. Assuming that's the case, you're all as depressed as I am by the semi-recent news that she has Vanilla Iced the philosophical chorus, "Hey! (Hey!) You! (You!) I don't like your girlfriend!" from...some guy. Which guy? Tommy Dunbar, who led the globally unrecognized new-wave band The Rubinoos. Say it without snickering, I dare you.

The proverbial money shot of this theft can be most easily checked out by hitting this video. So, yeah, this is as lazy as it is blatant. A strong case could be made for it beating out Vanilla's "No, mine goes ding ding ding ding dingy-ding-ding - it's totally different." I'd like to take this opportunity to point out that for being a stolen song, Girlfriend is crazy terrible. If the ATF had had this song in Waco, I'm completely sure the Branch Davidians would've immediately left the compound to make it stop.
