I once read in an article that the band made the song at the time because they were fed up with Gary Numan and his 'futuristic' electronic music, which I suppose is hypocritical because the Human League also makes that same kind of music.
The song itself, does sound like it's talking about a Gary Numan song, so it could be that.
It could also be a jab at how Numan had extreme popularity at the time while the Human League couldn't get 2 records on the US charts.
