Just heard this on the radio. Haven't heard it for ages.

See who is the first to get it WITHOUT using Goggle.

"No sex, no drugs, no wine, no women. No fun, no sin, no you, no wonder it's dark."

A voice in the back of my head tells me the song is 'Turning Japanese' but I can't remember who sang it. One of the lesser punk bands maybe?

correct, it is Turning Japanese by the Vapors.

they had an LP record if memory serves me well called New Clear Days. (nbuclear - geddit?)

... and the next line, if memory serves me is

everyone around me is a total stranger
everyone around me is a cyclo? ranger.

I'm surprised we haven't got onto the long running debate about what Turning Japanses refers to. And whether its true or not.

I like the line 'I wanna doctor, to take your picture, so I can look at you from inside aswell'. Kind of pervy

It is not true - the write of the song said so; that rumour is like the captain pugwash one.

I got one for ya, posted this on a couple of forums and no-one got it right (I even told them to use Google!)

"I dress in rags, smell a lot, and have a real good time
I'm a genuine example of a social disease"


sickbag - 22/9/09 at 10:24 PM

I think I heard some pikeys singing that the other day. . .

Elton John - Social Disease?

I used Google.
