The song was included on the soundtrack for the film The Stud, which starred Joan Collins. The lyrics were written by Trevor Horn, who also played bass on the song. The song was produced by Rupert Hine, who went on to produce albums for artists like Rush and The Fixx. The band's lineup included Geoff Downes, who later became a member of Yes and Asia. The song was released in 1979 by Network!, a short-lived new wave band from the UK. The repetition of the phrase "hungry hungry models" reinforces this idea, while also suggesting that the models are never satisfied, always wanting more success and recognition. The lyrics suggest that the models are not autonomous individuals, but rather puppets controlled by the fashion industry. Overall, the song presents a scathing critique of the fashion industry and the pressure on models to maintain a certain image. The final verse describes a group of models talking about fashion, but the phrase "hungry like the wolf" suggests that they are also hungry for something more. The chorus reinforces the hunger motif, repeating "hungry hungry models" multiple times. The verses describe various details of the scene, such as a model wearing a skirt that is see-through and purple plastic earrings, and another model putting her finger down her throat, presumably to induce vomiting.
The repeated phrase "on the runway" reinforces the superficiality of the fashion world, suggesting that the models are just objects to be put on display. The song's tone is cynical and sarcastic, as the lyrics describe models as "shiny working models" and "tall gorgeous models" who are "hungry hungry" for success.
The song Hungry Hungry by Network! depicts the world of fashion through the perspective of an outsider.
