Madden's Message: "Keep Your Hands Off My Girl"

Good Charlotte have unveiled the first single of their as-yet-unnamed new album, and its title is the not-so-subtle "Keep Your Hands Off My Girl." Which makes us wonder: Is it a warning to potential Duff-admirers or a revelation of things not going so well in the oft-buzzed-about on-again, off-again relationship of Joel Madden, lead singer for Good Charlotte, and his galpal, Hilary Duff.


It's almost two years since the rockers have released any new material and "Keep Your Hands Off My Girl" begs the question of who this "girl" might be? Madden and Duff's relationship has been a tabloid focal point over the past year and the lyrics provide a rather odd clue. "I got a model 26 but she stays in the place," sings Madden, but Duff is only 18. If it's for other male admirers of his Disney darling, Madden and the band have the following admonition: "I got brass knuckles hanging from my neck and my chain," especially given Duff's suggestion that "[Madden]'s from a pretty ghetto place in Maryland."

The boys only hope that they don't have the same problem at radio as Miss Duff. The full album is due out in early 2007.

1. The Madden Brothers are TOOLS! BlackMetal and the MAdden boys DO NOT get along all that well.

Good Charlotte was cute at best the frist time around..now what? Now they are older and less cutsey but have NO "edge" left as if they ever had any "edge" to begin with. So who buys the album pre-pubescent girls? I know no male over the age of 16 would get caught with this in his hand inline at the FYI.

Who knows though maybe a couple dozen more completely cliche tattoos and the guys will be "tough" again.

Get your hands off his girl or he will cry and smudge his emo makeup on your clean white Tshirt =/

5. On Joel Madden's Official Myspace, it says in his blog bulletin that this song is not about his girl,or any particular girl. The band was just having fun. It's not what we all think.

6. It makes me laugh that Hillary's comments about Joel coming from a pretty ghetto place in maryland have been posted in several magazines. I think she made those comments before even visiting maryland. The area that he is from, is in southern maryland and for the most part is pretty rural. If anything, the area may be somewhat redneck...but ghetto....far from!!!

7. Haha, who cares what these idiots think? GC has never been taken seriously, and no one cares about Joel and Hilary. Their music sucks.

8. To poster number 4 yes the place the twin guys lived in was very redneck and very quiet, it is more like living in the damn country.

I know very well because my mothers brother and his family lived just a few doors down from the twins and Joel is the one who taught my cousin to play guitar

15. Ashley should be at school learning proper punctuation and grammar rather than defending the terrible makeup choices of Good Charlotte.
