(****************************************************************)
Went to see Gung Ho a little while back -- not a great movie,
but a few great performances, namely by Michael Keaton, and
whoever played his girlfriend and Japanese friend...(Also by
George Wendt, of Cheers fame) -- Anyway, this wasn't intended
to be a review -- What really irked me was that the commercial
for Gung Ho featured a song from a few years back (1979, i
believe) called "Turning Japanese" -- NOT ONCE IN THE ENTIRE
MOVIE WAS THIS SONG EVEN PARTIALLY PLAYED!!! In fact, the music
in this movie left a lot to be desired -- The only good song
was in the preview of an upcoming Whoopie Goldberg movie --
"Jumping Jack Flash" (movie & song title, sung by You-Know-
Who) (Hope that wasn't a spoiler :-) )
The reason i am cross-posting to net.music is to see if anyone
out there has any information about the song "Turning Japanese"...?
(Artist, Yr. released, etc...)
Don't ask me why, but i like it...!
"No sex, no drugs, no wine, no women, no fun, no sin, no you,,
no wonder it's dull...!"
