"My Girlfriend" is a song by the Christian rock band Relient K, released on their self-titled first album. The song is about Marilyn Manson eating Matt Thiessen's girlfriend. Thiessen has said that he wrote it because a female friend turned from Christian music to Marilyn Manson, and in that way, Marilyn Manson ate his friend. The song was retired from being performed live in 2002. The song originally appeared as "Marilyn Manson Ate My Girlfriend" on the band's demo album, All Work and No Play.
[edit] Music video
The music video for "My Girlfriend" was the first released by the band—in it, the members of Relient K rescue "The Girlfriend" from inside of Marilyn Manson. They search through Manson's organs, which are all behind doors inside a hall. In the end, they rescue the girlfriend after Matt Thiessen defeats Marilyn Manson in a game of rock-paper-scissors.
"My Girlfriend" was the only music video by the band to feature drummer Stephen Cushman.
