(TeamRock Radio) What started out as a "joke" could end up with Tame Impala begin sued for alleged plagiarism. A story posted by Chilean website Rata this month accused the Australian band of ripping off Argentinian pop star Pablito Ruiz on their hit single Feels Like We Only Go Backwards.

The website claimed the song was similar to Ruiz's 1989 track Oceano. However, the article's authors insist it was only a joke and that they were taken aback when the story went viral.

The attention led Ruiz to tell ESPN Radio Argentina: "Obviously there is plagiarism. Not if you have done it on purpose or not, but there are seven bars that are equal to my song." Ruiz added he was seeking legal guidance. more on this story
