Here is a song about a male chauvinist pig, who once dared to form a relationship with someone outside of his comfort zone, now dumping her when his reputation Is threatened.

The song begs for her response.

Or is the song really about a closet case dumping his lover, when the relationship threatens to out him, as others have suggested?

after hearing (and seeing!) this song for the first time I always thought Ray Parker Jr. must be a big homo...

Jack (Jack)
Wanting someone to feel (Feel)
Sat up on the hill (Hill)
And waited all day for Jill
Jill (Jill)
Always away from home (Home)
Never bothering to phone (Phone)
Always leavin' poor Jack alone

Now, why do you think
Jack snuck down the hill
(He snuck down the hill)
'Cause he needed love
(He needed)
Love he couldn't get from Jill
(Oh, yes, he did)
Why do you think
Jack snuck down the hill
(He snuck down the hill, yeah)
He needed love (Oh, yes, he did)
(He needed) Love he couldn't get from Jill

Jack (Jack)
Like Little Red Riding Hood (Hood)
Always tryin' to do good (Good)
Waited as long as he could
Jill (Jill)
Is it right or wrong (Wrong)
For Jack to carry on (On)
If you leave him home too long

Now, why do you think
Jack snuck down the hill
(He snuck down, he snuck down, broke his crown)
He needed love (Sweet love)
(He needed) Love he couldn't get from Jill
(Ah, sweet, sweet love, uh-huh)
Why do you think (Hey-ha)
Jack snuck down the hill
(He snuck down the hill, yeah)
He needed love (Oh, yes, he did)
(He needed) Love he couldn't get from Jill (Yeah, oh)
(Jack)
(Jill)
(Jack)
(Jill)
Now, why do you think
(Why do you think)
Jack snuck down the hill
(Why do you think he snuck down the hill)
'Cause he needed love
(He needed love)
(He needed) Love he couldn't get from Jill
(Yes, he did)

He had mud on his hands

Now why do you think

I'm going to do a belamo, and repost this earworm, which has become a true earworm that won't go away.

In return, the song has revealed more of itself to me. For one thing, the viciousness of the man's remarks hint at his thinly-veiled desperation. He is terrified inside.

The singer Marc Almond is openly gay. My guess is that he grew up as a movie fan, and this song came to him as a sort of script. We are at the final scene of a weepy romance, where the man is breaking up with the girl. He delivers his breakup speech, wears a stony face, puts on his hat, turns and walks resolutely away, leaving the girl "crying in the rain."

^ He should have done a Madonna if he had no voice, nor even enough resonant resources to sing without either autotune or one big fat orchestra drowning his throat... or at least Marlene Dietrich's pianist.

Like farting through his nose or something.

Wait-- I almost missed it-- are you saying Marc Almond should have done Marlene Dietrich's pianist?

 

[belamyi]

^ If that improved his throat and diaphragm, yes, of course.

 

[belamyi]

Damn it. Wrong thread.

No earworm... so far.
