the vapors turning japanese one hit wonder

[SMAAKO311]

this is a really stupid fucking video

[themachman19691]

@SMAAKO311 and your a really fucking stupid person

[Spyderryder65]

They took a classic and fucked it up by talking through the whole dam video :-(

[dondorward2010]

hey morons out there!! the song is a take on the avg japanese tourist--not masturbation--get your insipid minds out of the gutter!!

[thunderinthevalley]

every 80s song is about masturbation..

Well, not EVERY. but quite a few...

[moxie96]

@dorkasour570 or just really seek the record, it's not too rare (@ about $1 to $12) and it's worth it, if you already like this song you'll likely love the whole album

[TsunminG]

You can even jerk off in rhythm to it.

[Spyroyahoo]

:) good song.

[van1976]

Regardless--good song.

1:59 Wow .. a bit of sour grapes. This guy's been crying in his Cheerios since 1981 .. lol

[rockwarlock]

Not a one hit wonder they had many other good songs

[2100Rose]

Interesting . However though it is obvious about wanting pictures of ones girlfreind I am still not sure where the Turning Japanese comes into it . Is it that men are supposed to pull a face like a Jap at the right point shall we say . Or is it something else . I was always under the impression that the Japs are camera happy . Any ideas . Sorry but this vidio to me still does not explaine quite in full .

[broncobra]

They were not a one hit wonder. Every song on their album rocked hard.

[fyk51]

iam japanese and i love it

[hippyd50]

No shit! most of us would have sold our soul for one hit. Jimmy hendrix, one hit. greatful dead , one hit. jefferson airplane ,one hit. Most of the top notch groups really did have only one top 40 hit. They gained followers from that hit and became quit successful without another bill board hit.

[IronAussie]

Great and clever song about wanking off...

[rushkagon]

Who cares they were a ONE HIT WONDER.

The fact that they wrote a song that is played on every radio station on the planet and internationally recognized is a big achievement.

Most of us would never hope to achieve such fame in our crummy little jobs or lives.

God bless The Vapours!

[CanalTrucho]

Está hablando del fasooooooooooo

[SaneLunacy]

I thought he was turning Japanese because he's become foreign to himself and everyone else.

"Everyone around me is a total stranger"

[eryops56]

a great song and band! too bad they didn't stay the course. he reminds me of a type of peter gabriel...80s style!!

[admillnx6]

Does any one who is commenting here have at least a basic grasp of english?

[stanazman9]

make love not war

[chevrometalero]

reverendos pelotudos la verdad

[gatitodemente]

yeaaah!

:D

[jhonwanegasey]

it is not the best song on the record .

[suprafanatic1984]

Singer has a sweet ass mullet

[Triumphrob]

I was the guitar player in MK1 version of the band.

I was not about beating off,

Only the dumb Americans thought that, but they are stupid,

[sirensandshadows]

I'm from America, but I didn't believe this song was about masturbation.

It's pretty stupid to generalize.

Anyways, this song is awesome :D

[tocomeko123]

And I was the lead singer

[thiebvan]

im sure you can, have you tried it? ( if so tell me if you can or did)

[iceray0]

rather pathetic to insult people over the internet

[themachman19691]

yeah it will be on there

[TheNightPoison]

I'm part welsh, part chinese. I sound great!

[iceray0]

[gldmj55]

a perfectly crafted pop song

[themachman19691]

[moouse805]

[themachman19691]

[FreedomForce29]

[xemnas7777777]

The Song is very Funny^^

[ToolsnFire]

1980 particularly, right after My Sharona

[jettkrash]

I love the mullet hair cut the lead singer has

[madcrazy1672]

dude it;s about jherkin the gherkin lol

[skorli]

It's about feeling alienated from everyone else!

[yarrfff]

this song is not about japanese people because if u think about if ur a guy it is the face u make when u get to the height of masturbation

[spartaeus]

I think they're full of crap.

[DYZMV]

it`s a very fun song, but it`s rather unrespectful to the japanese people. damn! i love this song

[RK831]

Despite the ridiculous meaning of the song, it was a very catchy song.

[mrsourcream]

I can't believe that's my friends grandfather, haha too funny.

[songsearcher1]

yeah the accent is hard to understand- they talked about the theory on vh1 on the show.

[LORDHOKAGE90]

lol what a genius record

[niCEnSleAzY99]

Fenton was about the only fella around in the 80s pop circuit that sported a mullesque haircut that looked dead cool.......... he wouldn't have looked out of place as a 18th century French revolutionary either!.

Vapors top band!....though sadly so brief, thanks for posting.

[idalygallagher]

thanks, good video..unfortunately i didn't understand, i'm not so good with the language
