A Letter From Avril Lavigne To You, Her Fans
Our favorite cigar-smoking muthaflippin' princess has had herself a rough week, starting with the Rubinoos' claim that "Girlfriend" ripped off a song of theirs, to which Avril replied via forum post and made a most compelling argument defending the lyrics in common: "As humans we speak one language."
But her deft wordsmithery didn't shield her from attack #2: Is "I Don't Have To Try" just a rip of Peaches' "I'm The Kinda"? (Watch the YouTube.)Maybe so or maybe not, but Av didn't help her case by telling InStyle that "I'm The Kinda" was her #1 favorite song of all time.
So all we've been thinking is, "Avril, what are you thinking?" And rather magnanimously, Ms. Lavigne wrote us a letter (not true), addressed to you, to clear the air.
To all my fans:It's me, Avril. A few weeks ago, I wrote you all a letter about a little "problem" I was having with a former friend who claimed I had ripped off one of her songs. It was a real pain in the ass for a while there, but then I ran into her at the Viper room and my "attorney" totally put a cigarette out on her forehead and it was like, spurious accusations retracted or whatever and everything was cool after that.
But now I'm writing again, because a bunch of dirty YouTube haters are accusing me of ripping off a song by Peaches. Lies! Total lies! I write all the songs and music that aren't written for me by my label. And I write my songs in the human language, not dirty whore! I've never even heard that Peaches song in my life!
People will say "But Avril, you put the Peaches song in your top five best favorite songs ever." And "Avril, you love Peaches." All of that is true. I think Peaches is an amazing artist -- a real hero of mine. I own all of her albums, and I've seen all of her videos. I even named my vagina after her! How punk rock is that?But the songs are completely different! Did they even listen to the lyrics? Hers is about being a bitch, and mine is about pants. Pants! Those are two totally different things. I mean, hello?
As far as the drum track goes -- yeah, we totally stole that!
Fuck you all,
Avril

I wonder if Avril's lawyers are gonna send Stereogum a letter demanding that this fabrication be removed.

So, when I run into her vagina on the street, I'll know what to say to get its attention.
... Man, that was the most incriminating and retarded response to an accusation ever.

Avril Lavigne's vagina is named "Peaches." She refers to her vagina as "Peaches." Peaches. Peaches. Peaches. I don't feel good about it, and I don't feel bad about it. I think I wish I didn't know. I can't get it out of my numb head. "You know the name of Avril Lavigne's intake valve. It's Peaches. Peaches. Peaches."
I need to lay down.

Is this real? Well, it probably isn't, but I can imagine Avril being that *ahem* "eloquent."

People. This is a work of fiction. And may God help you.

yeah, but Avril's the one who wears the pants. And she's the "mothafuckin princess". So sit down, Peaches.

I hope Avril Lavigne gives birth to a severely disabled child at some point during her life. THEN I'd like to see her calling her vagina 'peaches'. Yeah....ha, yeah, then I'd like to see it.

this is beginning to sound an awful lot like vanilla ice explaining that his bassline in "ice, ice baby" contained an additional note when compared to the queen/bowie collaboration, 'under pressure'.

Wait...she never heard of the Clash or David Bowie before she became famous but she likes Peaches? I suppose we can try to extract some sort of "She's learning" lesson out of her career...but then you look at that letter and you hear her songs and you realize no, there is nothing being learned here at all and never has there been anything learned and good god why am I talking about Avril Lavigne?

O.J., you dumbass! It wasn't me you killed, it was your ex-wife and that unfortunate waiter who happened to be at her place.
Score = 0
well.... this brings up two very good questions.
First,
I like that peaches song? Do I like that Avril song?
I mean they are essentially the exact same.
Secondly,
I'd rather fuck Avril... it sux that Peaches is so nasty but sounds like such a hot little whore.
Score = 0
Okay, so if Avril steals her songs, who wrote her letter?
Ernest Hemingway?
Alistair Cooke?
Katie Couric, 'cause that would be weird if she named her Fromunda "Peaches".

This reminds me how great an album "Fatherfucker" was. Simpler times.

Is naming your vagina "Peaches" really that punk rock?
Score = 0
hahahaha
avril is such a loser.She is such an idiot...just so stupid.She can't even write a letter.
"how punk rock is that?" lol.....who ever even said she was punk rock in the 1st place.... besides a bunch of 12 year old girls singing her disgusting song girlfriend ?
Shes so un-original.
and its just so nice to tell your fans(if she actually has any)"fuck you all" wow...thats so nice.Avril is such an asshole.

Just a little reminder (quoting Clinton, a few lines above) :

" I've never even heard that Peaches song in my life!"
"People will say "But Avril, you put the Peaches song in your top five best favorite songs ever." And "Avril, you love Peaches." All of that is true. I think Peaches is an amazing artist -- a real hero of mine. I own all of her albums, and I've seen all of her videos."
So if she owns them all doesn't that mean she HAS heard it? What a dumbass. I always hated her. She's a total poser and she sucks at everything she does. At the beginning of her career she tried to be a rockin' bitch like Brody Dalle but now all you see is her dancing around..what happened to that guitar?
She knows nothing and has no talent.
And she's also bad at lying.
Score = 0
"As far as the drum track goes -- yeah, we totally stole that!"
so that means she has heard it evne though she says she's never heard it.
i hate that bitch.

anyone who has seen Avril Lavigne interviewed on Popworld would know this could not have been written by her. it has far too much personality in it.
Most people roll with the mildly surreal punches on Popworld, but not Avril. she was a like an incredible awkward little cat with a stone brain.
Score = 0
WOW,she can say express when Avril tells her life i wuld leave "I named my vagina peaches" out of the story Avril has a tallent but u can call her a women but i still see the tomboy she is still the same you culd say and well Avril's life is suposly "Fine" but she has gone to far now i love her like a close friend but wut joke is this id like to see her evren trie i mean wut a drag i feel so sorry bye bye's ~Ashley~

Nice little disclaimer, with your: 'not true'...however, your misrepresentation of Avril Lavigne, taints her good reputation and it doesn't display maturity on your part.
