the 'Rubinoos' just want to get attention cause they were a sucky band to begin with. Like what better way to get famous than to diss a girl that EVERYONE likes?

Everyone likes?Jul 6th, 2007 - 17:31:55

If by 'everyone' you mean depressed 16 year old wanna-be skater girls, then yes.

Many people who like good music avoid her.

um no, avril fans are music lovers [meaning they like what they like no matter who its by]
not scene lovers unlike some people who claim to be music lovers.
but anyway, maybe not everyone likes her but a good majority at the moment does, I listened to the songs and avril is right its all over the 'hey hey you you i wanna be ur gf/bf' part, which is stupid.
If your band didn't make it big in the 70s they wont know by sueing Avril, and like my gosh, Avril has one of the biggest and strongest fan-bases, there is no way they'll win.

I read and listened to both songs. There are five words the same. Maybe the Stones should sue the Rubinoo's for plagiarism then. I mean they used Hey Hey You You just like on their Get Off My Cloud song. Yeesh. Get a grip already. As well if this site actually updated itself to timely news they would also have posted how Chantal stated to the CEO of Nettwork Music in Canada who reps both artists how she regrets stating what she did since SHE HAD NOT HEARD Avril's version of CONTAGIOUS on Avril's new CD when she said what she did. In fact the two songs are totally different and similiarities end at the Title.

When someone is successful people just want to rip someone down or get their 15 minutes of fame at the expense of the successful person. It's sick how our society is like that.

Certainly not defending Avril here, but why did that woman send anyone a song w/o having it copyrighted?

From a highly educated professional musician...

'There are only 12 notes...'

It means, there are only 12 notes that comprise most music (we won't get into 1/4 tones here).

How many ways can 12 notes be arranged? Do the math and you will see that most all music uses these 12 notes - so then all music must be repeats of earlier music - so its all 'stolen' isn't it?

Lame 70's band needs a music lesson.

Oh, and I can think of about 300 songs that use the same 'catchy' drum beats (I'll bet you can think of a few hundred if you try) so that would mean that all of those are stolen too, right?
