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

"The Southern Oklahoma Cosmic Trigger Contest" - I'm assuming, then, that "Keep the Cosmic Trigger Happy" by The Super Furry Animals is a reference to this?
