"Get Your Hands off My Woman" is a song by English rock band the Darkness. The song was released in February 2003 as the band's debut single and as the lead single from their debut studio album, Permission to Land. Although the single exceeded expectations, reaching 36 on the UK Singles Chart midweek chart, it would ultimately miss the top 40, debuting at number 43.
"Get Your Hands off My Woman" 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.
