In an open letter on her official Web site, Lavigne, 22, responds to allegations that her hit single "Girlfriend," from her latest album The Best Damn Thing, was plagiarized from a 1979 song called "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend" by a new wave outfit called the Rubinoos. The group's songwriters, Tommy Dunbar and James Gangwer, have filed a federal lawsuit against the singer.
"I had never heard this song in my life and their claim is based on 5 words," Lavigne blogs. "All songs share similar lyrics and emotions. As humans we speak one language."
Amazing.
