10 Famous Songs With Creepy Undertones You Totally Missed

6. Turning Japanese - The Vapors

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEmJ-VWPDM4 Hoping for their impact on the world of music to be everlasting The Vapors made their one hit wonder a double-whammy, with it not only being creepy, but also somewhat racially insensitive. How is it both of these things? Well, consider for a moment that the singer is not being literal with his word, but is instead talking about his fervent masturbating over a picture of a girl he finds attractive. The first verse describes his obsession with a picture of a women, be it a past or current lover, or a complete stranger. However you look at it, he later goes on to state that...

Everyone around me is a total stranger, Everyone avoids me like a cyclone Ranger, Everyone... That's why I'm turning Japanese.

His lack of physical contact has led to a regular masturbation pattern. OK, this one is a little debatable as there are numerous ways this song has been interpreted, but here's one that many people subscribe to: in this instance the term "turning Japanese" is less to do with embracing the culture of Japan, and more to do with the face that he is pulling whilst he is... well... pulling. Insensitive? For sure. Creepy? No doubt. But thats all easy to forget about when you hear that killer solo. Air guitars at the ready.
