New
York,
(ANI):
Rep
for
Beach
Boys
has
threatened
to
take
legal
action
against
Katy
Perry
for
including
their
classic
line
"I
wish
they
all
could
be
California
Girls," in
her
song
"California
Gurls."
Rondor
Music
has
fired
off
a
letter
to
Perry's
label,
Capitol
Records,
demanding
Mike
Love
and
Brian
Wilson
-
who
penned
the
1965
classic
"California
Girls"
-
be
given
a
writing
credit
on
Perry's
hit
summer
song,
as
well
as
royalties.
"Rondor
Music
has
sent
a
letter
to
Capitol
on
behalf
of
Mike
Love
and
Brian
Wilson,
saying
Katy
has
cribbed
one
of
the
most
famous
lyrics
in
history,
so
Love
and
Wilson
should
be
entitled
to
a
writing
credit
and
a
portion
of
the
royalties," the
New
York
Post
quoted
a
record
industry
source
as
telling
Page
Six.
The
legendary
line
has
been
uttered
by
Snoop
Dogg
at
the
very
end
of
Perry's
track,
which
has
sold
more
than
3
million
copies,
making
it
the
anthem
of
the
summer.
Although
sources
told
that
Wilson
and
Love
asked
Rondor
to
take
action,
reps
for
both
musicians
claimed
it
was
Rondor's
idea.
Wilson's
rep
said,
"Rondor
owns
the
track
and
called
Brian
and
Mike,
saying
they
were
going
to
complain.
Brian
likes
Katy's
record
and
doesn't
know
where
the
situation
stands."
Love's
rep
said,
"Mike
and
Brian
wrote
the
song
.
.
.
but
any
legal
action
is
up
to
Rondor."
Rondor
declined
to
comment.
