"Get Your Hands off My Woman" is the debut single by the English rock band the Darkness. The song was released in February 2003 as the lead single from the group's debut studio album, Permission to Land . Although the single exceeded expectations, reaching 36 in the midweek chart [1] , ultimately it would narrowly miss out on the Top 40, going in at 43. It went on to win a Metal Hammer "Golden God" award for best single. Credited to all four members of the group, the song supposedly reflected personal experiences of lead vocalist Justin Hawkins. "Get Your Hands off My Woman" became a sing-along favourite at concerts by the Darkness, in part due to its parodic obscenity. The song was covered by Ben Folds on his 2004 EP Super D .
