This song is about the Scottish actress Molly Weir, who played Hazel The McWitch in late '70s/early '80s BBC children's show Rentaghost. Vaseline founder member Eugene Kelly recalled to NME September 25, 2010: "Molly used to have this programme before the news on Scottish TV (Teatime Tales) where she'd tell all these stories from her childhood. She always struck us as a great character, so we just wanted to sing a song about kissing her."
The Vaselines recorded "Molly's Lips" for their second EP, Dying For It, released in March 1988. It was later included on their career retrospective collection The Way of the Vaselines: A Complete History.
Kurt Cobain listed the Dying for It EP at #4 on his hand-scrawled list of his Top 50 all-time favorite albums.
