It's about wanking, I believe. "Turning Japanese" is a euphemism for your O-face.

That makes sense. Don't I feel silly

According to songwriter David Fenton, "Turning Japanese is all the clichés about angst and youth and turning into something you didn't expect." Fenton intended the song to be a love song, with the character of the song "pining over a photograph of his ex-girlfriend" in his bedroom, drawing from Fenton's own experience of being rejected.

The previous commenter was clearly channeling Tipper Gore. No reason for you to feel silly.

I would hope that might persuade you to stop being a modern version of Tipper Gore.

You know it was fifty years ago and artists had to say stuff like that to stop it getting banned?

Edit - just remembered about Teenage Kicks, same thing

First of all, only 44 years ago.

Secondly the song is called "Pumped Up Kicks." It's by the band, "The People."

Thirdly, you forgot to take your fish oil supplement to help your memory. Here's a supplier.

Edit: I didn't downvote you, as you can clearly see in the modlog.

Edit 2: Did you miss the Tipper Gore reference? I remember watching Dee Snyder absolutely shred Tipper Gore on national television news, which Eminem decided to reference around the time I was 18 to 20.

Christ on a bike, where to start?

The song is called Teenage Kicks. It's about wanking.

The comment about fish oil does nothing except prove you to be a condescending cunt. ("Condescending" means you talk down to other people)

No idea why you mentioned downvotes

I, like the vast, VAST majority of people on earth, have no idea who Mr Gore or Mr Snyder are.

It's Dee Snider. So, you know... maybe both of you should stop.

Omg you spelt his name wrong!
