About This Track

“One Night in Bangkok” is a song originally sung by Murray Head on the 1984 concept album for the musical Chess. Its music was composed by former ABBA members Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson, with lyrics written by Tim Rice.

The song’s lyrics contain a number of Bangkok-related references, among them the “muddy old river” (the Chao Phraya River), the “reclining Buddha” (the Wat Pho statue) and Yul Brynner (who played the King of Siam in The King and I).

Siedzieć po 23 na poduszce w egipskiej knajpce pod gołym niebem, palić fajkę wodną i słyszeć tą piosenkę, wokół ruch - największy o tej godzinie, kolorowe światła, neony, sprzedawcy zachęcający do zakupów w ich sklepach, egipski ryneczek, wypoczynek przy basenie :(((( tęsknie..
