NEW YORK:

Tommy Dunbar and James Gangwer have dropped a lawsuit against singer Avril Lavigne for supposedly stealing their song I wanna be your boyfriend for her number Girlfriend. Avril was sued in July for copyright infringement, tmz.com reports. Dunbar and Gangwer have now issued a statement saying, “We are satisfied that any similarities between the two songs resulted from Avril and Luke’s use of certain common and widely used lyrics. We therefore completely exonerate Avril and Luke from any wrongdoing of any kind in connection with the claims made by us in our lawsuit.”
