Ever hear a song that seems to have two meanings? There is the one surface meaning and then another meaning which underlies the first.
Even if the band denies it, in n\my opinion, popular culture can take a song and infer a meaning to it that goes above and beyond what the band ever intended, it has a totally different underlying meaning,
Such is the case with one of my favorite songs, by The Vapors….turning Japanese
One of the more misinterpreted songs of all time, word was that "Turning Japanese" refers to the Asian facial features people get at the moment of climax during masturbation. In a VH1 True Spin special, they asked The Vapors about this song, and they explained that it is a love song about someone who lost their girlfriend and was going slowly crazy. Lead singer Dave Fenton said: "Turning Japanese is all the clichés about angst and youth and turning into something you didn't expect to." It was inspired by Fenton's relationship problems.
Of course some songs were really written with a different, underlying meaning in mind….
How about you do you have a favorite?
