The whole jail scene in Heatwave was based on the song. If you remember the guy that got Superman arrested for immediately disobeying the injunction was in the same cell. He goes through this whole list of things to annoy him. "I'm slapping Superman, I'm stepping on his foot, I'm tugging on Superman's cape." Then when he tries to punch him Superman ducks and he hits another prisoner - who happens to be named Jim. All the other prisoners then say - oh you don't mess with Jim.
In the song it is just a play on words - or things you'll do that will backfire on you. Like if you spit into the wind the wind will blow the spit back in your face.
