The Darkness

Get Your Hands Off My Woman

Label: Must Destroy Music Release Date: 24/02/2003

3366
domgourlay by Dom Gourlay February 27th, 2003

One of my ambitions was to be able to play air guitar as good as Bill and Ted, so off I traipsed down to my local GT Sports for that age old air guitar accessory, the tennis racket.

Sadly, it's been lying under my bed now for a good six or more years, destined for a lifetime in a charity shop window, or worse still, the dustbin.

But not any more, 'cos thanks to The Darkness, my trusty old tennis racket is set for a new lease of life!

Here's some free advice if you hear this record driving home from work tonight. Pull the car over and unfasten your seat belt, because you will not be able to sit still for more than 20 seconds of the opening riff without thrusting your head backwards and forwards in a repetitive motion and cradling that imaginary guitar beneath your wasteline.

Well, unless you're tone deaf that is, in which case, you probably shouldn't be driving that car in the first place.

Whatever next? David St Hubbins in Slazenger advertising campaign?

You read it here first...
