a great song, a great portrait of a vivid city. I am from Germany, my girlfriend lives there, I visit her three times a year. We always have a great time.
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!
I listening 6 years and then have go to Bangkok first time. No going there every year 32 years already and have wife from there and 3 kids. No buying own home there already. Loved that country (most of times).
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.
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.
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.
มีฝรั่งเขียนlyricให้ดูในคลิปMV officialแล้ว ก็ไม่เข้าใจอยู่ดี ( apart from being the music in the "Chess" play ) แต่จริงๆเค้าบอกว่ามันเป็นtrendย้อนไปไกลกว่าสมัยโน้นที่คนแต่งเนื้อเพลงจะเขียนให้ความหมายมันกำกวม ตีความได้หลายอย่างเพราะมันเท่ห์ อวดภูมิได้ อย่างเพลง American Pie ดอนแม็คลีน ยังพูดหน้าตาเฉยว่า ไม่รู้เหมือนกันว่าเพลงตัวเองพูดถึงอะไร
@@Strawberry-vq7zl ... I love that song. It is one of my favourites. And I really enjoy that lovely lady taking us to all the places that I know so well. Ah, memories. One day I will return.
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.
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).
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.
"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...
@@ouimetco Fly into Bangkok and take the first taxi to Pattaya 2000 Baht! Relax have fun for a few days and then go to the islands in the South, fantastic beaches. Stop over in Bangkok on your way home, fun but expensive!
This was on the vinyl " chess " l.p. , I bought it , loved it , still do , so I bought my chess playing uncle one , strange thing ; he took it home , played it , & the old sod never spoke to me again ! his loss .
Really love it. I've always liked the song, but the video just adds so much...a great cross section of the culture. It seems to cover a whole lot in just a few short minutes. Really great video to go with a great song. Wish I could visit this land!
Amazing city….feels like a special home. I love the atmosphere of the place, the smells, food, people, temples….. fortunate enough to spend four nights in Bangkok. I hope to return before I die of old age. Namo Buddhaya 🙏🏼 🌴 🌴 🌴☸️ 🇹🇭 ✈️
Ive always loved this murry head tune but i never heard it properly back then. Going through my music, skipping quite a bit, then clocking 'one night in bangkok i always want to play it. Got led to utube and found this video . Its perfect. I feel sad now coz ive had my mind blown and really wanted to experience that with another human.

Who knows what this perv got up to..
This song means more to aperson whos been to Bangkok .Like me and many others.
Bangkok nah, pattaya or phuket
I've never heard such a fantastic song that embellishes one specific city like 'One night in Bangkok' out of countless songs. This is masterpiece.
Yes this is a masterpiece.

Thailand is a fascinating and otherworldly place to be, and Bangkok takes the cake. Can't wait to be back.
Follow the darkness that calls you.
Amazing, they managed to get a shot of one of my favorite "temples" in this video.
I miss Thailand ...this video made me smile 555555
Unlike the original video for this song, it actually uses footage from Bangkok. well done.
Yes, the original video is an absolute dumpster fire.
@@MyBelch Low budget and it a lot harder to record live in 1985. Was big on MTV when they only showed music video.
I have spent my fair share of nights in Bangkok and to me it’s the best city .
Thank you.

Wow, I recognized almost every location in that video including the train stations at Mahachai and Mae Khlong !
Some great content is this vid. Excellent locations.
Always loved this murry head track and then to see this video with it has blown my mind.
I heard and felt it all
ahh... that put me into such a good mood 😊. Great song..
Everyone should go to Bangkok at least once I went there in 65 on r and went back in 66 and 67
I was there just before the sea took down the pleasure zone.
This song touches my soul
Wow love this song and found this video, it was insanely good, the song alone made me so interested in that culture and this was so cool to see
This song so popular since 1980 😁👏🇹🇭=1
