It's about Marriage and Weddings and all that STUPID STUFF. The song focuses upon the ridiculous traditions that are organized Society. You meet someone, (one out of 7 BILLION on the planet), fall in Love and then "take the plunge". WTF? Why? So many human beings are simply not designed to be in long lasting relationships, or to even have children, so why try?
Why? Because WE HAVE BEEN TOLD TO...that this is "the way" that all "normal" people live their lives, when it's NOT!
Examine the song's title...what is a Cha Cha? A Cuban dance step where the name is an Onomatopoeia, derived from the sound of the dancer's shoes. What is Loco? A Spanish word for crazy. So what is Jackson telling us in the song title alone? That Marriage is a random, fast-paced, crazed institution that most people don't fully understand and find themselves forced into, and then spend a lifetime trying to "dance all night, while never getting the steps quite right".
And so for most married participants, especially women, it's a question of not "biting the hand that feeds" so that you don't find yourself (heaven help me for even saying it) a divorcee...God forgive everyone for that mortal sin that sees most people (again, especially women) as PERCEIVED as "damaged goods".
Marriage, like most everything else found within Society's most cherished structures, is a CON! Guaranteed to create DIS-EASE amongst the participants, especially children, because we are neither prepared nor "hard-wired" for this monogamous marathon. Being with just one person isn't wrong in any way, shape or form; however, it's likely that most people would benefit from a lifetime of many different meaningful relationships, some Cha-Chas, Salsas, slow dances and even "line" dances...
This Universe is CHANGE! We Human beings are change. Society is a trick by the ruling elites to maintain their power and control by forcing things to STAY THE SAME, or what's known as the Status Quo. I am NOT just one thing...sometimes I like to Cha-Cha, while sometimes I like it slow. Can that be done w/ just one partner? Maybe, but the odds are against that from happening...
No matter what people like to say about the Earth getting smaller and smaller, we live on a MASSIVE planet where INFINITE POSSIBILITIES reign. Why would anyone marry their "childhood sweetheart" when there is a whole world of tempting tastes awaiting? We are purposefully RUSHED out of childhood into the worlds of Big Business and Big Relationships when we are still just kids inside. It's time to SLOW DOWN the ride...to reign in the madness all around us...to forget about money and possessions for a while, and to start thinking about life as one long experience...that we live on an Earth WITHOUT BORDERS for a reason...that we are meant to travel this globe in search of what defines each of us. There are hundreds of thousands of different cultures found on this perfect Earth...how can any of us know which is "right" until we experience them all?
This has been Joe Jackson's predominant message for a LONG TIME...don't hate things just because they are different, experience them and find out which experiences are best for YOU!

If one ask urban kids nowadays their biggest dreams are to find a job and place to rent so they can leave home.
