Finally, an explanation.

If you've heard of the song 'Turning Japanese' by The Vapours you've probably heard the rather adult explanation that some people have come up with to explain the strange title.

The band however have always said that isn't the correct interpritation but they don't ever seem to offer the truth.

Well now someone has put forth a family friendly explanation:

"I remember when this song came out. Yes, "turning Japanese" refers to the perception that Americans and Brits had of the Japanese tourists and their apparent obsession with taking pictures. My guess is that the rumors of other meanings took hold because the video did not have a photography theme to it."

If you haven't heard the song...
