The Rubinoos – I Want To Be Your Boyfriend the only thing i think is the hey hey you you part is the same the beat dose not sound the same also there also so many beats an instrument can make so of course songs are going to sound like each other btw i think the Rubinoos suck like a Jackass

Haha. Why do people say it’s the artist who writes the songs? I work in the music industry myself and I can honestly say record labels don’t like bad press so they secretly use this claim to make sure its the artist who gets the blame if songs are copied from earlier groups. Avril is innocent.
But the Rubinoos aren’t as innocent as they make out.

Maybe Girlfriend sound’s like Boyfriend but if you actually read up and listen to boyfriend it turns out:

‘Boyfriend’ by the Rubinoos copied
‘Hey, hey, you, you get off of my cloud’ by the Rolling Stones &
‘Hey little girl I want to be your boyfriend’ by the Ramones

so really the Rubinoos should lay off or it will be them who get sued.

DEJA- she is NOT being sued by the Ramones– she is being sued by the Rubinoos–totally different band. And while the lyrics are not exactly the same, they are very similar and the two melodies are almost identical–the chorus only varies by a couple of notes and a few syllables. I would say the Rubinoos have a VERY good case–regardless of whether or not Avrill’s intentions were to steal the song.

Check out this audio comparison of girlfriend over the top of the Rubinoos “I wanna be your boyfriend”:

And these are the correct lyrics from the Rubinoos Chorus:
Hey, You, I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend
Trying to say I wanna be your number one
Hey, You, I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend
Gonna make you love me before I’m done
