It's been suggested that this track isn't necessarily simply about masturbation, but about Andy Partridge's penis in general. It's also been said that it's about his then infant son. It's entirely possible he meant it to be interpreted both ways (and this is a man who openly admitted to jerking off into a red rubber shark when on tour). A strange fellow, our Andy.

- When I stroke your head I feel a hundred heartbeats high- Any time you rise, I'm here- If I could only wake you from your slumber curled, pink thing what would straight folks say?- That man is a sinner / 'Fore they cast me down to die, pink thing, spit in my eye, I'd love you for it
Only time that thing'll spit in his eye is when it's not plugged into a lady.
I've not heard the shark anecdote before. Hmm. I'll never hear Ra Ra for Red Rubber Shark the same way again.

I also don't believe the turning japanes thing - why can't it just be about a guy collecting pictures of his love? turning japanes - becoming like the photo-taking stereotype of japanese people...
Alex OTM, and I think the same could be said about "Turning Japanese" - there are two interpretations (if there was only one, that wouldn't be any fun, would it?)
However, ones I'm not so sure about: Men At Work's "Overkill" and Manfred Mann's "Blinded By The Light"...

BabyEverything has fallen into placeMy life is so exciting now I've got my spaceLike a splash of water on my face
LatelyI'm doing what I can do to pleasure meI'm finding time to focus on my fantasiesI'm satisfied in my own company
I don't need your permissionTo take this matter in my own two hands
'Cause I'm holding my ownGive or take a tear or two yeahI'm holding my ownNo matter what I put myself through
LadyAll we seem to do is talk about-We take apart and analyze our ins and outsHoney, I would rather do without
No-one to answer toI won't spend another lifetime begging you
'Cause I'm holding my ownGive or take a tear or two yeahI'm holding my ownNo matter what I put myself throughI'm holding my own
There's a spring in my strideThere's a twinkle in my dying eyes
'Cause I'm holding my ownGive or take a tear or twoI'm holding my ownNo matter what I put myself through

Never noticed "Sleeping Late" by Dr. Hook and the Medicine Show until now, but it definitely fits:
Sometimes I'm embarrassed by devious thoughts When I'm undercover let me never get caught Crazy notions begin with that old devil grin on my face We're such a disgrace, me and my pillow-case
Sleeping late, sleeping late Sleeping late, sleeping late
The blissful state of sleeping late has been known to compensate And sometimes even stimulate I for one appreciate, sleeping late Ain't it great sleeping late

I just had a revelation with Webb Pierce's "Walking the Dog":
I'm walking the dog and I'm never blue I'm walking the dog, I ain't thinkin' 'bout you I don't need no one to tie me down I'm walking the dog and I'm paintin' the town Such an easy life, I never knew until the day that I left you Well I'm a carefree lad that's seen the light I'm walking the dog all the day and all night
brilliant euphemism
