Pete Doherty Been Caught Stealing?

Pete Doherty has been accused of a double dose of plagiarism over Babyshambles’ song ‘Baddie’s Boogie’.

Wayne Kenyon, a former friend of Babyshambles guitarist Mik Whitnall, claims the tune is the same one he wrote in the nineties whilst in The Ferrymen.

He tells The Sun. “Baddie’s Boogie is a tune that I wrote for The Ferrymen.

“I have footage of me playing it at three gigs in Germany in 1997.

“I have written to Babyshambles' record company and they said they were passing it on to their lawyers. But I have heard nothing since.”

That’s not the only problem with the song.

The lyric, “A lousy life for a washed-up wife of a permanently plastered, pissed up bastard,” bears a remarkable similarity to one penned by Nick Toczeks in his Britanarchists’ tune ‘Stiff With A Quiff’ in the eighties.
