That would actually be a quote from the bible (that is, "Get behind me
Satan"; the rest of the the Donkey Jaw lyric is original, if banal, 70s
feel-good tree-huggery). It's a fairly common turn of phrase for people
fighting temptation (frequently spoken with tongue firmly in cheek, in my
experience).
