Turning Japanese (The Vapors cover) Lyrics
I got your picture of me and you
You wrote I love you, I wrote me too
I sit here and there's nothing else to do
Oh, it's in color
Your hair is brown
Your eyes are hazel
And soft as clouds
I have to kiss you when there's no one else around
I got your picture, I got your picture
I'd like a million of you over myself
I want a doctor to take a picture
So I can look at you from inside as well
You've got me turning up and turning down
And turning in and turning round
I'm turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so
[Repeat three times]
I got your picture, I got your picture
I'd like a million of you over myself
I want a doctor to take a picture
So I can look at you from inside as well
You've got me turning up and turning down
And turning in and turning round
I'm turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so
[Repeat three times]
No sex, no drugs, no wine, no women
No fun, no sin, no you, no wonder it's dark
Everyone around me is a total stranger
Everyone avoids me like a Psyclone Ranger
Everyone...
That's why I'm turning Japanese
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so
[Repeat three times]
You wrote I love you, I wrote me too
I sit here and there's nothing else to do
Oh, it's in color
Your hair is brown
Your eyes are hazel
And soft as clouds
I have to kiss you when there's no one else around
I'd like a million of you over myself
I want a doctor to take a picture
So I can look at you from inside as well
You've got me turning up and turning down
And turning in and turning round
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so
[Repeat three times]
I'd like a million of you over myself
I want a doctor to take a picture
So I can look at you from inside as well
You've got me turning up and turning down
And turning in and turning round
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so
[Repeat three times]
No fun, no sin, no you, no wonder it's dark
Everyone around me is a total stranger
Everyone avoids me like a Psyclone Ranger
Everyone...
I think I'm turning Japanese
I really think so
[Repeat three times]

This is a cover of a song by The Vapors. I love this song, but I have no idea why. I like the oriental guitar riff at the beginning and throughout the song and I like how it's just so random and sort of senseless. It's about a guy who is in love with a girl but has to be away from her for a while so everything feels messed up without her and when he is with her they have to keep their romance a secret. A sweet song, but I don't understand the "Turning Japanese" part. Anybody else got any thoughts?
the song is about masterbation but thats beside the point...this cover is not by incubus but by the band no use for a name...i mean...its possible that incubus did a cover live maybe, but incubusview denies it...so id doubt it.....devilslittlesister...btw...if you want to find the meaning of the song id look at the vapors lyrics page
The Turning Japanese part is him crying, you little pervert.
Just kidding, I used to think it was about masturbation, too. And yeah, Incubus never did a cover of this song. Besides, it just wouldn't be Incubus-y if they did.
When Incubus came to Wichita during the morning view tour they did a cover of Led Zeppelin's immigrant

this wasn't covered by Incubus, it was covered by No Use For A Name
not Incubus
this was a misnamed song floating around the internet, the one i got at very least, was The Vapors song with the wrong name, not a cover by incubus or anyone else.
But the song is about masturbation, the writer has a pcture of the girl he lusts for, he wishes he had a porno one, that a doctor could take. turning japanese is a euphemism for orgasm, where your eyes screw up and you look japanese.
so there.
I found this one on limewire, but I don't think it's incubus at all. It sounds nothing like brandon. It's a cool cover, but not incubus. at all.
this is not covered by incubus
ya incubus didn't sing/cover this
