“Turning Japanese” was released in 1980 by the English band The Vapors. The group was pretty much a one-hit wonder. Though the song supposedly reflected how singer/songwriter Dave Fenton felt while he was separated from his love, in the U.S., the song was believed to euphemistically refer to the face a male makes during the act of masturbation. The song has been covered by a number of punk groups since its release. The song was even featured in a KFC ad.
