Ok, hear me out, I don't want to bore everyone with some kind of lengthy anecdote. I'll be brief. In the era of The Best Damn Thing (still my favourite thing like ever) I was a total super-fan. I knew everything about everything. My favourite thing were hoaxes that were either obviously fake, or fun to play along with for a while. They were far and few in 2007, but I considered myself an expert in this field until about 2012 when I faded out of Lavigne for a few years. In 2016, a 'theory' resurfaced about a song called 'Dolphins' by Avril Lavigne. About how a song she never recorded popped up on all these lyric sites through all these years. A complete lyric sheet (and even covers) of a song that doesn't exist. How did I manage to tiptoe around this back in the day? Does anyone else get me? Just look up 'Dolphins' by Avril Lavigne and its really kind of intriguing how something of a 'prank' such as this has latched on to all of these sites for so long. I still find it bizarre. If i'd found it maybe i don't know 10 years ago i would have been all over it. I even found out recently that there was like this fake cover made for it and everything (attached) and I don't know what to make of it. It makes me feel so weird. Does anyone have any information on this mystery song? Thank you!!! Also, yes, it's my first day on here. Attachments:dolphins-lavigne.webp (32.62 KB)

Hello and Welcome. We have recently discussed about this fake news. Nobody of us remembers this, probably it was a way a famous lyrics website used back in the day to see which other websites copied the data from their website. So they made up this song and then it appeared in many different websites. It was like a trick experiment. But we don't know. Anyways the discussion was here, but as I said, there are not many relevant info about it avrilbandaids.boards.net/post/176784/thread
