"Molly's Chambers" is the second single taken from Youth and Young Manhood, the debut album by the American alternative rock band Kings of Leon.
This song has an alternate take known as "Molly's Hangover", however this version is slower until towards the end. It also features a different style of back-up vocals and different guitar solo(s).
The title is taken from a line in Thin Lizzy's version of the traditional Irish folk song "Whiskey in the Jar". "Molly's Chambers" is similar of the song "Falsario" by Babasónicos.
Volkswagen used "Molly's Chambers" as the entire audio track in a television commercial advertising the Volkswagen Jetta.

One variation of the Irish folk song 'Whiskey in the Jar' includes a reference to Molly's Chamber which may have influenced The Kings of Leon. Whiskey in the Jar was a 1973 hit for the band Thin Lizzy and contains the line: 'Being drunk and weary I went to Molly's chamber'
