Rupert Holmes "Him"

Rupert Holmes' lasting mark on music comes courtesy of  songs about cheating. We all met the man who sought someone more exciting than his current spouse so he responds to a personal ad in the song "Escape (The Pina Colada Song)". Despite the song's theme, I can't find anyone (other than me) who doesn't like the song. In Holmes' follow-up hit, "Him", he sings about finding a pack of cigarettes that aren't his and suspects his lady friend is having an affair. Maybe a pina colada will make him feel better?
