Dam the river of stupidity

Just read this story on Perez:

The alleged song thief does it again!

We try to avoid her “music” as much as possible, so we didn’t catch on to this until it was just pointed out to us.

It has been brought to our attention by an astute reader that the beginning of Avril Lavigne’s song I Don’t Have To Try - off her new album The Best Damn Thing sounds IDENTICAL to I’m The Kinda by a true Canadian artist, Peaches - off her album Fatherfucker.

The first 20 seconds of Avril’s song are a carbon copy - musically and thematically - of the Peaches track.

There is, thankfully, a link provided to a side by side comparison of the tracks.

I know Perez is a busy man, but couldn't he have listened to this before he wrote the thing. The tracks are bizarrely different. I mean, I can see a certain similarity in the fact they both use a drum machine and vocals but, other than that, where's the beef?

Can we just stop the stupidity.

Please.
