"Molly's Chambers" is the debut single by the American alternative rock band Kings of Leon, released in 2003 from their debut album Youth and Young Manhood.

This song has an alternate take known as "Molly's Hangover", which is slower until towards the end, and features a different style of back-up vocals and guitar solos.

Composition

[edit | edit source]

The title is taken from a line in Thin Lizzy's version of the traditional Irish folk song "Whiskey in the Jar".[2] "Molly's chambers" is archaic slang for a brothel.
