WOW YOUR DAD IS OFF.

Don't worry it's a common mistake. (Never thought it would come up again since that time frame.)

The singer had a Japanese girl friend. It was about him being smitten for her.

Most people think its about masturbation though. But its an old and incorrect myth.

yea, pleasure, that and for some people their mouths open wide and you can see their front teeth.

Seriously it is about his Japanese girlfriend.

It was on a myths of rock type show.

That and what Inagattadevita (hell I cant spell it) really meant and some other stuff.

Oh and that was actually In the Garden of Eden just said with lots of beer by the singer.

You believe everything you see/hear on TV?

Last thing I came across on the subject said he alternated between saying it was a love song and being about masturbation. To mess with the media.

The original intent was supposedly as a love song for his Japanese girlfriend, I think. Been quite a while since I looked at it all.

Yeah right.
They would people believe that grunge killed metal. All it did was get rid of some of the cheesy bands. The cool ones were unphased. Unless the booze got them. GNR

Anyway they actually had Fenton from the Vapors that wrote the thing. Wish I could think of the name of the band.

Here is a quote he gave from an interview.

"I wrote it as a love song. But when I went to America everyone said to me, "Is it about wanking?" In interviews, I'd say alternatively, "Yes it is", and "No, it's not". It could be about a lot of things. I just woke up with that phrase in my head. It's just an image which captures what that song was all about. But, no it wasn't intended to be about wanking at the time. What surprised me was that the Americans thought it was an English phrase!"
