Best Bit-At 1.11.It’s the poor Boyfriend I feel sorry for, it must be awful having all those girls fighting over you.
‘Girlfriend’ was the biggest selling single worldwide in 2007, with estimated sales in excess of 7,300,000 copies.The song was co-written by Avril Lavigne, and Dr. Luke, who were both sued by James Gangwer, and Tommy Dunbar, of the band ‘The Rubinoos,’ over claims that ‘Girlfriend’ was very similar to their 1979 song ‘I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend.’ Both Lavigne, and Dr Luke both strenuously denied these accusations, stating that they had never ever even heard of that song. Eventually things were settled out of court, with Lavigne stating it was cheaper to do it that way, rather than having to spend more on court costs. It has also been pointed out that The Rubinoos song has similarities to the Rolling Stones ‘Get Off Of My Cloud,’ and ‘Girlfriend’ closely resembles the song ‘Micky’ by Toni Basil.
Avril Ramona Lavigne was born on September 27, 1984, in Belleville, Ontario, Canada, she is recognised for bringing together elements of ‘Power Pop’ and ‘Rock,’ earning her the title of ‘Pop Punk Queen.’ Her debut Album, ‘Let Go’ released in 2002 went to Number 1 in the UK, making her the youngest solo female artist at that time, at the age of 17 to top that chart.
‘She’s like,’So whatever’,you could do so much better, I think we should get together now.’
