I can't stand the fact that The Vapors are known a 1 hit wonder. True they had one huge hit but for gods sake that is practically their worst song. The Vapors have so many incredible songs that are sooo much better than "Turning". The Vapors Rule but I'll be the only one who cares.
"You've gotta really love someone to carry a picture of their spleen around, unless you really like spleens." lmao. I also loved all of the euphemisms they used for "masturbation". Especially dishonorable discharge. XDD
i knew I KNEW this song was not about masturbation. this is a GREAT song, no body knows this but this was my favorite song for 13 years, and it took me that long to figure out what it was called a bonus thank you for this
even though in the video they even say that its a love song....and has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH MASTURBATION..you still believe that its about jacking off?....
Not sure if Fenton's just choosing ro rewrite history but was he not experienced in hotels of her Majestys pleasure? Prison??? Hence the lyrics; "...i'd like a million of you over my cell..." AND "No sex, no drugs, no wine, no women...etc." All that plus their other almost hit "Prisoner Number 1" which was about armed robbery. If someone knows ANYTHING about this please post or get in touch!! Jonathan S. Glasgow...
... Somehow, my friends got it in their heads that this song was about the song writer's self-realization that he was gay. I think they based it off of japanese history... All I know for sure is that it stopped me from listening to a catchy tune outside of my home.
wow.. I can't believe it is infact a song about going crazy in love..but it's true, biggest misconception ever, because even though I know the truth I'm still compelled to believe the lie...
Whether it was about wanking or not...what's the big deal? lol

@p9uma If you really want banal, try watching a YouTube, Sasha Grey video. This video will seem like Hitchcock in comparison.

I read an interview with fenton, when he arrived in america People assumed turning japanese was english slang for...., you know what.
When he would be interviewed by radio or TV stations he would give everyone a different answer he told them, "it's whatever you want it to be"
But he maintains it was really a love song which i beleive is true.

Janicex 3 years ago
They split up. Now correct me if I'm wrong but I think the record label dropped them, and Fenton got pissed off and quit.
The Vapors are really good, I recommend you get Vaporized. It has all of their songs on it, very good stuff.
