Welcome to 201k.com - A Commonwealth Perspective.

Avril Lavigne has been accused by two singers from a 70's band named Rubinoos of ripping off their song "Boyfriend" for her song "Girlfriend."

Sounds to us like she ripped off Toni Basil, Joan Jett, the Stones, and Rubinoos.

But let's face it: everything on the radio sounds like it was cut-and-pasted from something else -- like they make music by writing old ideas on index cards, throwing them up in the air, and playing them in whatever order they pick them up -- so why start getting annoyed at it now?

Of course that's crazy; the people making the music on the radio couldn't write old musical ideas down on index cards. They obviously have some audio software that randomizes and re-writes pop music ideas for them. You play your old CDs into it, press a button, and it spits out a new "song."
