I've always believed this had one of the best beats and over all sound of any AM! song, this and for some reason The Ocean (Even though I'm not a huge fan of New Wave) just hit me hard in the musical sense, but both lyrics are rather cryptic and confusing, and both had some sort of taboo about them in the lyrics (Possibly homosexual or other taboo relationship in Disco and talk of wanting to be a woman in The Ocean). I dunno just thought it was an interesting point that this isn't the only possible song with homosexual undertones. Obviously Tom isn't gay, but maybe he could have been bi? Not that it would matter, it's his writing ability that really makes or breaks the man in my eyes and lord knows he can write.
