The legend of the amoral Spanish nobleman Don Juan received its earliest known literary treatment in 1630 in a drama written by the Spanish monk and author Gabriel Tellez under the pseudonym Tirso de Molina. In subsequent centuries artists as diverse as Molière, Mozart, Shadwell, Byron, Browning, and Shaw have told his tale in one way or another. In this song, the Pet Shop Boys are using the figure of Don Juan as a metaphor for German dictator Adolf Hitler (1889-1945). a song that ranks at the top of the list for "PSB obscurantism".Neil wrote this song on his own in 1978, well before he met Chris. It was meant to sound Spanish, which was why they revived it when it came time to to 'Domino Dancing'. The lyrics are very historically based, something that is prevalent in a lot of Neil's writing. In the Balkans in the 1930s, they were caught between Stalinist Russia and Nazi Germany leading up to World War II all these funny monarchies. There was King Zog of Albania, King Boris of Bulgaria and Prince Paul, the Regent of Yugoslavia, and they were all trying not to be allied to Hitler while trying to stop Stalin annexe half their lands.
