The chilean website who accused Tame Impala of plagiarizing Argentinian singer Pablo Ruiz have now said that they were just joking - but he's still considering suing them.
Chilean news site rata.cl claimed that the psychedelic single that landed the band in the big time was ripped off from a track called 'Océano' by Argentinian pop star Pablo Ruiz.

In a new interview with Rolling Stone, the site's editors have said: "It was a joke. We were at a party and had that idea. Curiously, it was viralized pretty fast. We never thought we'd had this impact, and we're very surprised about it."
It seems Pablo Ruiz has taken the "joke" to heart though, and in an interview with ESPN Radio Argentina, said he was consulting his lawyers about the possbility of suing.
