Cover art for Turning Japanese (The Vapors cover) lyrics by Incubus

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?
