New Avril Lavigne Video - "The Best Damn Thing"

Girlfriend needs to find a new shtick. I loved "Girlfriend" for what it was, fake rock for teenage girls to bump on the freeway with the windows open and gay men to lipsynch in the bathroom mirror. The video was snotty Hot-Topic-punk fun. But it does not need to be repeated. "The Best Damn Thing" sounds like "Girlfriend Pt. 2" and the video looks like it too. It even rips off Toni Basil's "Mickey" even more than "Girlfriend" did, down to the A-V-R-I-L cheer. Been there, done that. In 1982. Watch if you dare:
