"One Night in Bangkok" was a kickass song Heard this on the radio today. God, I loved that song! Murray Head sounds so pissy in the song and I just always thought it was equally funny and cool. Any other fans of this classic gem? All good things they say never last... | |

One of the few songs from the world of Italo Disco to become a hit in America. The synth programming is classic!  | |

I heard somewhere that Murray Head is the brother of actor Anthony Stewart Head. Anyone know if there's any truth to that? "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

Yup! Murray is his older brother. I was a big fan of One Night in Bangkok 'back in the days', but I haven't heard it in a while now. Btw. I dig Anthony's (Giles's )
rendition of Behind Blue Eyes - he's got a good singing voice. Well, lucky-lucky us. Lucky-lucky-luck.

It was Italian, I thought it was American, anyway great song that actually discusses a problem that is still rife today, Thailand as a cheap sex destination. It sad   17 Years ago I made a commitment to Prince | |

The video was on mtv all of the time when the song was out
and that's how I ended up buying the 45 of it back-in-the-day. I always liked the song. It is funy how his delivery seems "pissy" 
It comes on at work sometimes when the 80's disc is on and I always feel like I am the only one who knows the song  "Hyperactive when I was small, Hyperactive now I'm grown, Hyperactive 'till I'm dead and gone"

Ya'll know this song is actually from the Andrew Lloyd Webber production 'Chess'?
Listen to the words about Chess games, pieces, queens etc and it makes sense. The play didnt last too long but this song was a hit! The other famous song from Chess is the ballad 'I Know Him So Well' *Wiki off now  I sincerely want 2 fuck the taste out of your mouth | |

I hold this song in the same light as 'Politics of Dancing' - songs I completely ignored in the 80s but totally love now | |

The perfect song to sing when you're actually IN Bangkok. And difficult to get out of your head while you're there. 
Except, we always sing it like this: "One night in Bangkok and your poo's like water....."
'cause it is.  "I saw a woman with major Hammer pants on the subway a few weeks ago and totally thought of you." - sextonseven | |
