Riff: Avril Lavigne – “Here’s to Never Growing Up”

Jun 18, 2013

Singing Radiohead at the top of our lungs/With the boom box blaring as we’re falling in love/I got a bottle of whatever, but it’s getting us drunk

from Here's to Never Growing Up lyrics by Avril Lavigne

Where to start – Avril’s Peter-Pan-partier theme rehashes the melodic motif and acoustic guitar of “Complicated,” co-opts the fad of gang-vocals and tribal toms already started and finished by fun., and to boot name-checks Radiohead in a botched attempt at authenticity already used by Katy Perry.
