Funny Lyrics:
"Turning Japanese"
The Funny Lyrics: Everyone around me is a total stranger,
Everyone avoids me like a psyched Lone-Ranger, Everyone. Why They're Funny: Everyone who hears this song is obssesed on to whether or not it has to do with wanking, so they miss this rip-roaring couplet. I wonder what 'pschyed Lone -Ranger' would look like.

Repetitive Lyrics:
"Turning Japanese"
The Repetitive Lyrics: Turning Japanese, I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so (Repeated 1000 times) Why They're Repetitive: That's basically the entire chorus. You would think that if the singer was really turning Japanese he'd stop talking about it and just turn Japanese
[Ed's note: Given my understanding of the 'real' meaning of the song, you can only 'turn Japanese' for so long until you revert. Following a small (or long) refractory period (look it up, heh heh) you can 'turn japanese' again for a litle while!] Submitted by: Celeste
| "Turning Japanese"
The Repetitive Lyrics: I think I'm turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese I really think so Why They're Repetitive: We know the title of the song already. Give it a rest.

Nonsensical Lyrics:
"Turning Japanese"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: I want a doctor to take your picture
So I can look at you from inside as well Why They're Nonsensical: Like many of you, I've had to take biology at some point or another, and I still can't imagine those pictures of such wonders as the digestive track and circulatory system I was forced to look at in those classes could be part of a very lovely person (male or female). Beauty really *is* only skin deep.
