The Kooks have claimed that they turned away Scouting For Girls when the group asked to be their support band.
Singer Luke Pritchard apparently snubbed the pop-rock band's offer because he does not rate their lyrics.
"They asked to come on tour with us, but I dunno. They’re probably nice guys but I'm just not sure," he told the Daily Star.
The frontman joked: "When I think of Scouting For Girls, I think: 'Wow, classic songwriting, one for the history books.'
"'She's so lovely, she's so lovely'. I mean, it's poetic isn't it?"
Pritchard's group tour the UK in November and December, rounding off with three dates at the Camden Roundhouse. They are supported by Mystery Jets and Kid Harpoon.
