Yes, I mentioned this sometime last week or something, but I cannot stress enough how totally fucking RIPPED off "Girlfriend" "by" Avril Lavigne is. The Lush song I'm referencing is called "I Wanna Be Your Girlfriend," and was a B-side to "Ladykillers," in 1996. This version itself was actually a COVER of The Rubinoos song, "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend." I wanna know why no one seems to give a shit? I'll bet the genius who wrote the song does!!! Man! Do people suck.

In totally-related-to-Rubinoos News:
1. I just realized that I actually do have your "new" (within the last year) blog's URL and now I don't have an excuse for not reading it, like, 5 times a day.
2. i can't believe you didn't comment on my Ramsey Clark post... I thought it was pretty clever!
3. man, Pete Doherty's teeth are f-ed up...
4. I believe it's pronounced "Dock-erty" and spelled "Doherty"... it's Scotch-Irish or some shite.
