The Rubinoos, an American power pop band from Berkeley, California, formed by Tommy Dunbar and Jon Rubin, gained fame in the 1970s for their catchy melodies and witty lyrics. Influenced by the Beatles and bubblegum pop, their hits include "I Think We're Alone Now" and "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend." They toured with Elvis Costello and worked with Todd Rundgren. After a hiatus, they returned with albums like *Paleophonic* and *From Home*, maintaining their signature style. They've also collaborated with artists like Jonathan Richman and received notable media attention for a legal dispute with Avril Lavigne.
