04/04/2003: "I wonder..."

I gotta plug Emotion Eric again. It takes a very special website for me to actually keep going back to it and he pulled it off smile Pop over there and join the forums. You learn new things there. For instance, I did not have a clue that the term 'Turning Japanese' is slang for masturbation - though as I'm researching it online a little, I'm finding there is some contention as to the actual meaning. According to one website, the song is about being obsessed
with photography, and it's a reference to the stereotype of Japanese tourists running around taking pictures of everything. Either way, the lyrics are a bit daft, but I like the song anyway.

And in the course of this little research project, I've discovered a few other songs that are thought to really be about a little self-love. Cyndi Lauper's 'She-bop' - but that's a no-brainer. I remember seeing her interviewed by Dr. Ruth, of all people, and Cyndi talked about how she-bopped in the bath when she was younger all the time. Billy Idol's 'Dancing with Myself'. You would think that one was about it, but apparently in an interview with the man himself, he says the song was about the club scene in Japan and how dancers danced in front of mirrors, hence 'dancing with myself' and that the song is about isolation. Billy Squier's 'Stroke'.... Come ON! It's not about mastering your domain at all smile He says that's about how greedy record exec types 'stroke' the artist out of all their money. 'Darling Nikki' by Prince. That one is pretty blatant. 'Close to Me' by The Cure... I don't know about that one. I'm a big Cure fan, but I have to admit I'm really not one to sit around and analyse lyrics.

But yeah, go see Eric's site if you haven't already heard of it. Fun for all.

I cannot forgive Descartes; in all his philosophy he did his best to dispense with God. But he could not avoid making Him set the world in motion with a flip of His thumb; after that he had no more use for God. by online poker
