Save the World · Get the Girl is the second album by The King Blues.[1] It was released on 20 October 2008. The title is taken from the Clash song "Red Angel Dragnet" from their album Combat Rock.

Four singles were released from the album: "My Boulder",[2] "Let's Hang the Landlord", "Save the World · Get the Girl", and "I Got Love". "I Got Love" reached #96 in the UK Singles Chart.

The album has been received very well by fans and critics. The band hoped to make the top 75 on the albums chart starting 27 October; however, the album did not do so, peaking at #113.[citation needed]
