(****************************************************************)
      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...!
