According to the singer Neil Tennant, the song concerned the insincerity of how President George H. W. Bush's speeches at the time of the First Gulf War utilised Winston Churchill's wartime rhetoric, in a manner similar to how artists sample music from other artists.
Neil Tennant later said that the track 'was inspired by a female popstar from 1989', it is strongly believed that the inspiration was in fact Transvision Vamp frontwoman Wendy James.
