Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Guitar Master Wanna Be	#1 by Guitar Master J at May 6, 1972 at 11:51 AM EST
	How in the world did they come up with the term'turning japanese' for masterbation?

No Picture Jacob Lead Player	#2 by Jacob Julian at Feb 13, 1974 at 4:07 PM EST
	i am japanese ;)

No Picture Derek Lead Player	#3 by Derek O'Kanos at Sep 12, 1975 at 8:07 AM EST
	Look, you shouldn't believe everything you see on the tele, you know? This song has double meanings. It really depends on the way you look at it. One way, would be the obvious-Masturbation. Okay, we've got that. But think about it. "Oh it's in color Your hair is brown Your eyes are hazel And soft as clouds I often kiss you when there's no one else around"...He might be talking about falling in love with a Japanese girl, and the whole world around him shuns him, because he isn't Asian. He might feel that he is so in love that he, too, is starting to feel a bit Japanese. Or...He could be talking about masturbation. ^_~

No Picture isaac Average	#4 by isaac fritsch at Jan 9, 1980 at 5:52 PM EST
	i think i get it, there's a stereotype on japanese people for being addicted to sex (bored) so when they have no sex, what else is there to do but masturbate? so i think what he means is something close to that - i'm turning japanese meaning, i can't live without sex

No Picture scotty 2 hotty Rhythm Player	#5 by scotty 2 hotty at May 9, 1984 at 7:26 AM EST
	Maybe the whole "no sex.. no drugs..." part is about being straight edge. I mean true straight edgers abstain from just about all those things. although masturbation is okay.

No Picture Mike Average	#6 by Mike heidkamp at Jul 25, 1985 at 7:27 AM EST
	Well the song is about masturbation. Think about how guys eyes go all slitted just as they are about to come

No Picture Goat Average	#7 by Goat Screwer at May 9, 1987 at 1:07 PM EST
	I heard that this song was about the guy going gay. I don't believe that at all, & agree with the masturbation thing, but what is this part about..."No sex, no drugs, no wine, no women, No fun, no sin, no you, no wonder it's dark"?

No Picture Håvard Average	#8 by Håvard Banne at Nov 26, 1991 at 10:12 AM EST
	dude, i dunno about you guys.......but my face doesnt turn all japanese like

No Picture Rockstar Professional	#9 by Rockstar at Jul 4, 1993 at 1:39 AM EST
	that's funny. my friend told me that it was about masturbation but i didn't believe him.. guess i was wrong!

No Picture Jordan Average	#10 by Jordan S. at Mar 6, 1998 at 1:02 AM EST
	This song is about masturbation...saw it on a VH1 special on the One Hit Wonders things...crazy stuff...weird.

No Picture Carly Average	#11 by Carly at Jul 14, 2000 at 10:15 AM EST
	Why does the guy have to be in jail if he has a pic? You can jack off with a pic anywhere, not just in jail. And I do think that's what this song is about.

No Picture kevin Rhythm Player	#12 by kevin jeung at Dec 5, 2001 at 12:07 PM EST
	hey wow..i never even thought of that. it's...interesting.

No Picture The Four String Lead Player	#13 by The Four String Mother Fucker at Sep 15, 2002 at 6:50 AM EST
	This song is soooo funny. I don't understand it but once when I was young my dad had heard it and started singing it out of nowhere and it cracked me and just reading the lyrics makes me crack a smile.

No Picture Stephen Average	#14 by Stephen Weber at Aug 21, 2007 at 7:36 PM EST
	what if i'm a lefty? =(
