Murray Head - One Night In Bangkok (SUPERSCALED TO 4K)
“One Night in Bangkok“ is a song from the concept album and subsequent musical Chess by Tim Rice, Benny Andersson, and Björn Ulvaeus. British actor and singer Murray Head raps the verses, while the chorus is sung by Anders Glenmark, a Swedish singer, songwriter, and producer.
The release topped the charts in many countries, including South Africa, The Netherlands, West Germany, Switzerland, Denmark, and Australia. It peaked at No. 3 in both Canada and the United States in May 1985 and at No. 12 in the United Kingdom.
The full version of the song begins with an orchestral introduction, entitled “Bangkok“. This serves as the introduction to Act 2 in the original musical album, feeding into the first verse of “One Night in Bangkok“ itself with an abrupt change in musical style.
The song tells of the meeting of two great chess players, one Soviet and one American, in Bangkok, which is the capital of Thailand. Chess is a musical production that uses a US-USSR chess rivalry as a metaphor for the Cold War, but this song just contains double-entendres about the game of Chess compared to the Bangkok nightlife. The example often used is “I would invite you, but the queens we use would not excite you.“
Along with the rest of the songs from Chess, the music was written by Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson of ABBA, and Tim Rice wrote the lyrics. Rice has written for many film and theatrical productions, including the song “Can You Feel The Love Tonight“ from The Lion King.
Murray Head is an actor who has been in several movies and stage productions. He is barely out of the one-hit-wonder category because of his 1971 version of “Superstar“ from the Jesus Christ Superstar production where he played Judas. It hit #14 in the US in 1971.
