How can someone "Blind" you with Science?

How can you be "turning Japenese?"

Those are two really good questions.

I wish I had the answers.

Turning Japanese is slang for a facial expression made during an oragasm.

here's a little tip for analyzing pop culture in the eighties:

everyone was ST00PID back then.

Well I guess the jury is still out on it. The band has both confimed and denied that is what its about:

"Turning Japanese" was often rumoured to be a euphemism for excessive masturbation, and the subject of the song. This is based on the perception that men make a face where they squint their eyes and curl their lips to expose the upper incisors, resembling the stereotypical image of a Japanese person, during masturbation and orgasm. Though frontman Dave Fenton viewed it as a love song when writing it, he would alternately confirm and deny the rumours in interviews.

^ Thank you so much for beating me to this. I thought I was going to have to explain the Vapors and didn't really want to.

As far as "Blinded me with Science," what can I say? Thomas Dolby is nuts.

And what's up with all the singles from Duran Duran's 1983 album "Seven and the Ragged Tiger"? Simon totally lost me there. Still love 'em to death though.

There is actually a way to do that. Watch VH1 classic and catch the video.
