Doc Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 No, "turning Japanese" was supposed to refer to the face people make during orgasm, not whacking-off per se. Which makes relatively more sense than a guy just "turning Japanese" for no reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Then why all the lyrics about looking at pictures? Why Japanese? Do they like to look at pictures more than any other culture? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevbeau Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Why Japanese? Do they like to look at pictures more than any other culture? Looking past that this a discussion I really never envisioned myself in The protagonist wants more pictures of the "subject" so he can "turn Japanese" to her image. It was the 80's, so pictures and a little side boob on HBO had to get the poor guy through the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackFergy Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Why Japanese? Do they like to look at pictures more than any other culture? Well....maybe that's why they always have a camera around their necks.... "Hey, Wang...what's with the pictures?? It's a parking lot!" (R.

Doc Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 (edited) Looking past that this a discussion I really never envisioned myself in Neither did I. The protagonist wants more pictures of the "subject" so he can "turn Japanese" to her image. It was the 80's, so pictures and a little side boob on HBO had to get the poor guy through the week. So you're saying he would flog the bishop to her picture? Pretty much what I was getting at, of sorts. Well....maybe that's why they always have a camera around their necks.... "Hey, Wang...what's with the pictures?? It's a parking lot!" (R. Dangerfield) The song was written in 1979. From what I recall, that stereotype wasn't around back then. I could be wrong. OK, I think that pretty much does it for this subject. Edited June 13, 2013 by Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
