Jimmy Eat World need to get onto Tom Petty’s lawyers.

Jimmy Eat World’s song “The Middle” is one of those songs that holds a place close to our hearts.

It was released in 2001 and it has been the soundtrack to college nights, road trips and good times. It’s a brilliant song.

We were pointed in the direction of American pop star Kelly Clarkson’s new single today, and it’s left us gobsmacked.

Listen to Kelly Clarkson’s song here (give it a minute max).

Now listen to Jimmy Eat World’s song “The Middle” and you’ll hear what we’re on about.

She has to owe the boys some musical royalties, right? Are we wrong? Do you hear it? You must hear it.
