I know where 10cc got their name - and Steely Dan as well as Semisonic's Secret Smile - but I don't know about Turning Japanese. I've never really listened to the words.

.... alleged to be about heroin.
Alleged yes, but denied by Paul Simon:
"My girlfriend at the time was particularly saddened upon finding a few grey hairs in her brush, lamenting that she was getting older. I wrote that lyric as a tribute and inside joke to her. I don't know how the heroin connection rumor got started. The song is basically about friendship."

He hadn't got a girlfriend at the time. He just imagined that he had due to the huge amounts of smack he was taking.
(I'm only joking, legal people...)

I love that song, please don;t tell me there's some filthy explanation to the name.
I believe a secret smile is a lady's private parts. Although it'd be a very gummy smile.
Wasn't Eye of the Tiger about the same kind of thing.
Now I think that song's a bit creepy.
