"Jesus Stole My Girlfriend" first turned up on We Don't Belong Here, Violent Soho's 2008 album, and the Australian band thought enough of it to record it again, along with a good chunk of that record, for their self-titled album, where it became the first single.
The title is not much of a metaphor: going by the band's interviews and the words themselves, it's about one member's girlfriend leaving for a life devoted to Christianity. It's arguably the song Violent Soho are best known for, and it's easy to see why a grudge that specific, set to post-grunge, stuck in people's heads.
