  • Whether it was about wanking or not...what's the big deal? lol

  • >Video talks about video games

    >When it does this, video shows a shelf of manga

    Makes sense -.-

  • I believed myth 1 :)

  • CRACKED!!11!!!1!!

  • Comment removed

  • lol racism!

  • where did that rumor even get started?? soooo stupid.

  • 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.

  • Just so you know. They said different things in different interviews to keep people talking about it.

  • Atari is an American company with a Japanese name. Easy mistake to make.

  • I thought it was about both love and masterbation

  • What stupid, banal, pointless video.

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

  • "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

  • Ah, the denial, the denial, the denial.

  • jackin the beanstalk...punchin the munchkin...DISHONORABLE DISCHARGE!!!! ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!

  • Yay :) I knew it was a love song ^_^

  • 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

  • Good!! i really wanted to clear that up! my friends think its about materbastion.. MWAHHA not any more!! ^_^

  • darn it. i liked it better when i thought it was about stroking the salami.

  • my cousin said it was about busting a nut... if u understand that...

  • song is about jacking off your johnson

  • Yup =P

  • 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?....

  • why would you take hours to find out what ah goofy song sayd?

  • what dave fenton says? i can't understand what he says

  • Yeah, riiiiiite...

  • yea....thats true..its actually really sad....-.-

  • Really? Is that what you're telling me? Oh, okay I believe you.

  • @Triumphrob In a country with over 300,000,000 people, all Americans think the same? How shamefully xenophobic of you.

  • Would be the Americans, LOL

  • great video, i finally know the truth about turning japanese now.

  • hey i am turning Japanese...litteraly... come to my channel and watch it live.... Ja matta ne

  • I love watching some hacks who've never met the Vapors theorizing what it's about!

  • 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.

  • @ErikCarey Yes it was a love song about a guy going mad cos his Jap wife had left him with only a picture

  • 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...

  • hell yea, high five niagi

  • Hey what is the status of The Vapors now?

  • 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.

  • lol "at our happiest, we look japanese."

  • i thought the song was about a perv in prison jacking off to a photo

  • I thought it was all about wanking, I'm so glad I have been enlightened

  • I'm actually listening to that song right now. It's fun to listen to. XD, I love it.

  • Tracie Daryl, where you even ALIVE in 1980? Dingbat.

  • how does losing your girlfriend relate to Japanese people?

  • he was saying that losing someone u loved made them feel like they were turning into someone else... therefore, turning japanese :DD

  • ooooooohhhh... i get it now...

    sorta...

    The Vapors are strange.

  • atari is american ?

  • I believe it is

  • Listen to the narrorator...

    Its Raiden from Metal Gear Solid 2!

  • This from VH1, interesting. On VH1's "one hit wonders", two months ago, they said it was about masturbation. I guess they can't make up their mind.

  • what is 2:58 from

  • i mean why are people watching

  • its not one way love, one of the lines says she loves him aswell

  • ... 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.

  • atari's not japanese.......dumb bitch.

  • huh...my friend told me it was it bout jackin off lol.

  • masterbation, its about it

  • 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...

  • great video thanks!

  • THANK GOD! I love Japanese girls!
