I remember when this song came out. I still think it's got one of the greatest beats.
I love the entire soundtrack for Chess!
Il était super aux festivals interceltique a Lorient l'année dernière sauf il buvait beaucoup l'alcool voilà
Is this in any way racist? Offensive?
My first time in Bangkok and I remembered this gem of a song back when I was a teen on the 80s
THE Best! LOL makes me so happy!
hey say a comments for a frog eater
30 ans que je connais cette chanson et elle me fait toujours le même effet comme à vous j'imagine
Masterpiece brillant lyrics great voice
Right handed then left handed
Magic from a bygone era and when music was music. The song always remindes me when I was in Bangkok.
Actually very decent writing
Lol. Please!
Hands down, one of the best foot tappin songs ever!
i'm calling it: this is rap
I mean no offense but is this song about geopolitics or Thailand ladyboys or both cause 🤔 help please
I have a friend that whenever she hears this, it just gets to her. She loves it. Every time I would play it for her, she would say "oh no, no, no, no". LOL
No soy de esta época, pero agradezco a mi padre por haberme mostrado está y muchas mas canciones de sus tiempos.
❤️👍
treasure Chest..
Follow the White Rabbit
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." Song Facts
After all these years I never knew but hey it was the 80's. We were kids of that generation so we didn't care so much about the lyrics just as long as the music sounded good and we could dance to it. LOL However, most of us remember this song for it's unique sound and lyrics as they were unusual innuendos at the time. Never knew it was about two super powers, one being us, playing political chess in Thailand! Who cares! LOL
I think we can all agree to this being one of the best songs ever sung
They don’t call him “head” for nothing
Loved this song
Written by Björn and Benny from Abba.
Oh Rudolf Hess…. Ehm lieber Comanchero!!🤣🤣👍
Hit nad hitovima
Ne,ne rausgeflogen im Thaifune hier!Wicki kommt!!🤣🤣Dazu muss ich nicht Studieren!!!
Le Message de Murray est que s'il manque une case, rien ne fonctionne !
Hi wassup how are you doing today
This song is catchy and addictive 🙈 Whenever people say they going to Bangkok I can’t help but think of this song always 😅
Why does this song come to my mind when I think about Louisville, Kentucky?
It was today age 28 i learn this song was about chess
I hate to break it to you Sunshine, but this song is terrible.
Maravillosa rola Nostálgicos 80s de mi corazón😍
I'm Tim effing Rice, I can rhyme "oyster" and "cloister" if I want to.
Why did I think this song was about thai prostitutes?? Lol
He had to have spent time in bangkok Thailand to write something so inciteful as this gem 💎
Crazy to think this is almost 40 years old. I drop in on this now and again and it still doesn’t age.
<3
Actually part of an opera about chess
The decade was a creative era of pop music. Mostly it was because of the great innovation: synthesitator. It gave so many possibilities for musicians to create.
I can feel the devil walking next to me,it's an epic quote.

When life was less costy in all , and not a games!
