Big bullshit in Japan

That 80's song "Big in Japan" has been echoeing in my head lately (yeah, admit, used to dig that stuff). The subject is obviously relevant to me, so I wanted to check whether the text gives me advice on how to become big in Japan :-)
Let's look at some text passages then:
  • Here's my comeback on the road again.Things will happen while they can
    Hm, sounds pretty philosophical. So anything that CAN happen WILL happen? Not sure that I like that, could be anything from becoming a superstar in Japan to a major earthquake or something...
  • I will wait here for my man tonight--It's easy when you're big in Japan!
    So being famous means you're more patient? Not sure...
  • Big in Japan, all right, pay, then I'll sleep by your side
    Becoming a hooker = becoming big in Japan?!
  • Shall I stay here at the zoo,Or should I go and change my point of view for other ugly scenes?
    So zoos in Japan are ugly, thanks for the advice. Changing your point of view once in a while might not hurt, so why not?
  • Things are easy when you're big in Japan, when you're big in Japan.
    Yeah, got that. But after considering the above I still don't wanna become big in Japan. Thanks.

Please advise if I misunderstood any part of this highly relevant text. The video is quite funny too, over-the-top 80's style. Watch on Youtube:
