Fall Out Boy star Pete Wentz has denied launching a legal challenge to stop Canadian rockers Neurosonic releasing a song mocking his girlfriend Ashlee Simpson.

The bassist was reported to have sent a cease and desist notice to the group in a bid to prevent them from promoting their track So Many People.

Neurosonic wrote the song in response to Simpson's disastrous TV performance on Saturday Night Live in 2004 which caught her lip-synching. [According to Gigwise the song contains lines like "Everything under the sun / Going to hell in an episode of 'SNL' / Busted on the TV / You ugly girl, you cannot sing / Can't even lip sync / Apparently money can even buy you dignity"]

However Wentz, who has been dating the singer since last year (06), has denied sending the letter, insisting he doesn't know anything about the band or their song " If your songs are good then sleep easy and have fun playing them - just don't attach me to them."
