 The lyric "but thank the lord that you still got hands, to help you do that jerkin' that'll blot out your disco sorrow" alludes to his lust for the disco girl and that when he loses her he can always just masturbate.Besides disco this song is also a commentary on Zappa's dislike of men who find themselves irresistible to women.When put onto Rykodisc, the vocal on "Disco Boy" was mixed differently and the three second drum machine intro was cut.
