Avril Lavigne namechecks Radiohead on new song

Avril Lavigne namechecks Radiohead on new song, ‘Here’s To Never Growing Up’

Canadian pop princess Avril Lavigne has no interest in growing up and, to prove it, she’s citing the coolest, youngest, hippest band all the kids are listening to on the school yards: Radiohead!
Wait, what?
That’s right, the 28-year-old Lavigne, who is engaged to Nickelback singer Chad Kroeger, opens the first track released from her upcoming, as yet untitled, fifth album with the line:
“Singing Radiohead at the top of our lungs.”
Which, we hope, means kids in Napanee, Ont., really enjoyed blaring “Fake Plastic Trees” in the late ’90s (rather than, say,  the glitchy existentialism of “Push/Pulk Revolving Doors”).
Regardless, the rest of the single, appropriately titled, “Here’s To Never Growing Up,” pushes on like a Ke$ha jam that’s spent a bit too much time in Nashville.
