Murray Head - One Night In Bangkok

“One Night In Bangkok” by Murray Head; released in 1985.

[@robertpiccus8568]

I've lived in Bangkok over 20 years. It is fun taking visitors to Nana Plaza Go Go Bars and requesting them to play THIS SONG -> The Girls Dancing GO CRAZY!!!

[@snavarro7713]

I have loved this song for many years. I went in Bangkok forty years ago, it was the first time. I came back in 2022, I am still here in Krung Thep. I am found of the smiles. The huge energy of this city is improving my health.

[@theidahospud]

Was in the army--Vietnam--in 1966/67 --took my R&R in Bangkok, I'm 75 years old now, and can honestly say-- those 5 nights in Bangkok were the best most memorable nights of my life.

[@TheDeadMan3848]

Yes Sir. I can only imagine a young GI there in those days. 😆

[@brianrajala7671]

I spent a few days there in those years too. From the you tube videos available, it is now much larger, and it seems the sex trade has blossomed considerably. It was a fascinating place then, but I personally enjoyed the order in Tokyo more.

[@DogRedful]

I was a young GI there in the 1980’s…my Thai wife of 33 years still pretends to get mad when I tell her “I can feel the devil walking next to me”.

Agreed! I'd also like to know who the girl is that is featured in the video. She pops up again and again...she does a great job. Beautiful and classy...

Took Tuk Tuk rides to the Temple of the Emerald Buddha (Wat Phra Kaew) and Royal (Grand) Palace, and Temple of the Reclining Buddha, (Wat Pho) and a few other temples over the days I was there.

This song BREATHS Bangkok! Perfectly captures the city.

I got off the plane and entered the airport and when outside I was greeted by a golden fat boy statue waiting for me. I knew then I walked into the depths of evil and all I wanted was to get out ASAP!

[@dougsmith9940]

I was in the US Air Force in 1972-3 and went to Bangkok on R@R for 5 days. Was drunk too much but went to Patpong Rd and brought a gogo beautiful thai girl back to my hotel. Also went to the zoo and a kung fu movie. Best 5 days of my life just wish I hadn't drunk as much as I did.

[@HH-mw4sq]

Amazing, they managed to get a shot of one of my favorite "temples" in this video.

This song was written/sung by ABBA, Murray Head was only the guest rapper. ABBA did an amazing job here -- the refrain into the super dry, tight mix on the vocals at 0:38 hits different. The voices feel right next to you with ABBA's unorthodox harmonic style.

[@kenc2257]

From the Internet: "One Night in Bangkok" is a song from the concept album and musical "Chess" by Tim Rice, Benny Andersson, and Björn Ulvaeus. British actor/singer Murray Head raps the verses, while the chorus is sung by Anders Glenmark, a Swedish singer/songwriter.

[@Tony-mh3dm]

[@brucelaborin2124]

I was looking for THIS cut of the song, as it's the best, and it's the cut I remember hearing on the radio back in the 80's. I decided to watch the video for $#!TS and giggles, and found it to be a tasteful, colorful video edit that fits very well with the song. I wish some original video scenes of Murray Head singing some of the lyrics were featured interspersed in it, though.

[@TheListPlanet]

This is the best video for One Night In Bangkok ever, great editing

Searched "One night in Bangkok song" as an idea for a similar film soundtrack. Found this video and OMG. So many good locations, shots and content. Superbly edited and hits the right note. BTW: The featured lady is a stunner. I'll just share this with my friends as a showcase of everything Bangkok and surroundings (noticed Chatuchak in the film which is local to me).

[@edlearned460]

From the Broadway show "Chess". The big hit from that show was "I Know Him So Well". Music was written by the guys from ABBA. The show itself bombed....lasted 2 weeks on Broadway.

[@Frank-mm2yp]

"CHESS" was originally produced as a "concept album". As a fully staged musical production it had a successful 3 year run on London's West End, but bombed on Broadway. It has had recurrent "revivals" over the years; usually in a "concert" format. Possibly one of the most successful and profitable vehicles that "no one has ever seen" Go figure...
