Turning Japanese, I think I'm turning Japanese, I really think so......Repeat.
Would LOVE to live in Japan, and have only been there for 4 short days, but guess I'll live in Shreveport instead! Isn't this song really about turning gay? In this shot, I'm in Paris!
Just going crazy so don't mind me, I'll be back to Vail pics tonarrow! So God bless Gerald Ford, the Pres that put Vail on the map!

I think I might now need a new song to explain what I'm experiencing. I'll have to think about that.

One of the more misinterpreted songs of all time, word was that "Turning Japanese" refers to the Oriental facial features people get at the moment of climax during masturbation. In a VH1 True Spin special, they asked The Vapors about this song, and they explained that it is a love song about someone who lost their girlfriend and was going slowly crazy. Lead singer Dave Fenton said: "Turning Japanese is all the clichés about angst and youth and turning into something you didn't expect to." It was inspired by Fenton's relationship problems.
This was the Vapors' only hit. They released another album in 1981 before calling it quits.
Hey you are SO Japanese!
