»For anyone who doesn't already know the story, Morrissey wrote this song as a response to DJ Steve Wright's insensitive placing of Wham's vacuous «I'm Your Man» directly after a news report of the horrible Chernobyl disaster. Done live, Morrissey often twirled a noose around, wearing a T-shirt with the «zany» Steve Wright's face stamped, like a passport, with «HANG THE DJ». This song often prompted Morrissey to discourse on his hatred of «puerile» dance music, which he refers to in this song.«
