In the late 18th century, it was common to get annoyed with passers-by. Too much courtesy can indeed be a bad thing - these people were told to 'get behind the fucking velvet' and were soon sold into a life of indentured servitude in Australia. Few if any of these unwittingly courteous slaves survived to be recorded in the annals of history.
"Look mate, if you say thank you one more fucking time I'll tell you to get behind the velvet"
- Connor in AC3

"Shut the fuck up and take another sip or just get behind the fucking velvet already."

- Jason Green

The eagerly-anticipated (I say that about all albums that I like... hmm...) 5th album to be released by blues-rock group The White Stripes. Hits stores June 6th, 2005, while the first single, "Blue Orchid", hits stores May 29th.
"Get Behind Me Satan" is a reference to an old Negro spiritual, therefore the new White Stripes album will probably go back to a more bluesy base.
