Beach Boys Sue Katy Perry Over 'California Gurls'

No fun in the sun.

Katy Perry needs to find her girls from some other state. The pop singer, whose song "California Gurls" is sticking to summer radio like a sweaty swimsuit, is facing a lawsuit from representatives of the Beach Boys over her use of the line "I wish they all could be California girls."

Reps for the Beach Boys' record label, Rondor Records, sent a letter to Perry's label, Capitol Records, demanding that the iconic surf rock group gets writing credit for Perry's hit song. They also want royalties for her use of the line in her chorus.

Lawyers for Mike Love and Brian Wilson say the duo should get credit in Perry's song. The line is actually spoken by rapper Snoop Dogg, but Katy Perry's label is still getting the brunt of the lawsuit.

Both Wilson and Love say they don't want any part of the lawsuit and that this is all up to the record labels to sort out. The pair have even praised Perry's song, saying the subject matter is obviously still popular and that it's an honor to be remade.

"I love her vocal," Wilson said in an interview with the Los Angeles Times. "She sounds very clear and energetic...The melody is infectious."

While artist content needs to be protected, it's kind of silly that such a common phrase has to be off-limits without paying a chunk of your song's profits.

Of course, if it helps retire Perry's "California Gurls" from the radio, let's get this lawsuit rolling ASAP.
