"Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want" is a song originally performed by British group The Smiths. It was released as the B-side of "William, It Was Really Nothing" in 1984 and later featured on the compilation albums Hatful of Hollow and Louder Than Bombs. The song has been covered by several artists, including The Decemberists, The Halo Benders, Franz Ferdinand, Elefant, OK Go, Deftones, Rob Dickinson, Emilie Autumn, Amanda Palmer, Hootie & the Blowfish, Muse, Cameo, Kaia Wilson, Third Eye Blind, Kate Walsh, The Dream Academy, Josh Rouse, She & Him, Slow Moving Millie, William Fitzsimmons and Sarah Darling, also, the chorus has been featured in a The Weeknd hook. British band Clayhill have covered the song and their version can be heard at the end of the Shane Meadows film This Is England. Canadian electronic artist Venetian Snares also sampled the original song in "Nobody Really Understands Anybody". Canadian PBR&B singer The Weeknd sampled the song's chorus for the bridge for his song "Enemy". The song has become one of the most well known Smiths songs despite it only being a B-Side and it is often played by Morrissey during shows.
