"Don't Marry Her" is a song by The Beautiful South, which was the opening track from their album "Blue is the Colour". Vocalist Jacqui Abbott begs a man to run away with her from the woman he is going to marry, and attempts to sway him by describing what she thinks married life with the other woman will be like, painting a very uninviting picture. The song contained profanities on the album version, but a cleaner version was released for radio. This version substituted the name of the actress Sandra Bullock, for 'sweaty bollocks' as well as 'have me' at the end of each chorus rather than 'fuck me'. The song spent ten weeks on the UK Singles Chart, peaking at #8.
