One Night In Bangkok

One Night in Bangkok" is a song originally released in 1984 by Murray Head. The verses could be described as a spoken rap by Head, a sarcastic, tongue-in-cheek decrying of the city's moral corruption and glorifying the intellectual purity of chess ("the queens we use would not excite you" etc). It is a quintessential showclub-oriented tune of double-entendres.I love the sound and beat of this song and thought it would be fun to add pictures to create a photo video. It was fun to create the video and I hope fun for you to watch.

@BriansDisneyGal Hi. My facts are 100% correct. I recommend this site Pet Shop Boys Song-by-Song Commentary which contains a PSB Lists section which has a list of songs wrongly assumed to have Pet Shop Boys involvement including "Bangkok."

@waterspout8 Pet Shop Boys did help make this song. That is why they are given credit on the radio for it. Please make sure your facts are correct before making comments.

This is a cool montage, but Pet Shop Boys weren't involved in this song - It was written by the two ABBA guys, Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson, with Tim Rice on lyrics.

Wow, really? I was unaware of that...I researched the song, and have listened to it a number of times (on the radio) and it was always stated that is was Murray Head and the Pet Shop Boys that played it. It is to my understanding this song has been remixed by several other groups. Thank you for sharing your information, it is always good to learn something new. Have a wonderful day my friend.
