Pity the poor Rubinoos. They had a tight power-pop sound and made a number of infectious recordings in the ’70s and ’80s but never quite ascended the charts. And when their sound finally made it, their credit was nowhere to be found: Avril Lavigne, seemingly inspired by their “I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend,” had done her own “Hey! You!” cheerlead with a similar theme, garnering massive success in 2007 with “Girlfriend.” Chad Kroeger’s better half (ahem) kept the songwriting credit for herself and collaborator Dr. Luke, leading to a confidential out-of-court settlement.
