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

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: Everyone avoids me like a cyclone ranger
Why They're Nonsensical: Oh really. Huh? What in the world does that even mean?! In what language does that make any sense? Even if you try to turn it into a metaphor for something it still doesn't make any sense. There's no such thing as a cyclone ranger and furthermore why would people be avoiding you? The whole song is total nonsense but this line really takes the cake! It doesn't even in any way relate to the rest of the song. It's so stupidly ridiculous it's almost funny. What were they on when they wrote this line anyways?

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.
