80’S TUESDAY: One Night in Bangkok by Murray Head - An odd mashup of chess, Broadway show, rap, 80’s pop and the place of “reclining Buddhas”. The lyrics were so acerbic that Thailand banned the song when it was released in 1985.
On a side note, while the song may take a dim view of the capital city, over several trips to Thailand I have come to appreciate and enjoy Bangkok. As chaotic as the city may be, there is an energy about it that I have found in few other places. I am glad to see that the flood waters have finally started to recede and that the recovery effort has begun.
