Spread the Social Love:
Part of it was because of the silly falsetto and their nonsensical lyrics, but really the success of The Darkness should not be underrated, which is unfortunately exactly what happened with ‘Get Your Hands Off My Woman’.
Perhaps it’s because it didn’t have the popiness of some of their bigger hits, but the hard-rock, no mercy agenda of this song saw it become the least-popular, but probably best release off Permission To Land. Justin Hawkins is able to hit notes that only classically trained vocalists could dream of hitting with success and his brother why he should not be dismissed as the weaker guitar player of the two.
The Story
Not realised by some, ‘Get Your Hands Off My Woman’ was in fact the first single ever from The Darkness, but only became known after the more successful follow-up releases.
Released in February 2003, the single reached #43 in the UK singles chart, their worst performance to date but launched their career successfully nonetheless.
The song is credited to all the band members as was the rest of the album Permission To Land, which topped the UK album charts.
