1) Akkol, oriental setting
and the city don't know that the city is getting
Da creme de la creme of the drunk world
in a show with everybody but a sober man.
time flies doesn't seem a minute
we can get drunk in any place of the city
all change, dont you know that
when you play at this level, there's much ordinary venue.
it's Aktau, or Petropavlovsk, or Schuchinsk, or…OR THIS PLACE.
chorus:
one night in Akkol and the world's your oyster
the bars are venue but the beer aint free
you'll find a love in every streets of Akkol
and if you' re lucky you're a respectfull guest
we can show you many Akkol's place of sex.
2)
we trying to find our lovers
we are never sober. what is hangover, brother?
it's a drag, it's a pain. it's really such a pity
to be looking at the phone, not walking in the city.
what do you mean?
we got one crowded, drunkest, roadside town.
tea, girls, beer and vodka
snack and drink are all that you need in Akkol.
Shanghay is a hood of heavy smokers,
KSMK is a hood of reckless loafers.
they get satisfaction below the waistline, sunshine.
chorus:
one night in Akkol makes a hard girl humble
not much between despair and extasy
one night in Akkol and the tough guys tumble
can't be too carefull with your company
i can feel the devil walking next to me.
3)
Akkol's going to be the city
of the massive hard drinking, we'll show them, we did it.
Gosniti exites me more than Center, Vokzal, Shanghay, KSMK or SMP.
and thank GOD i'm only watching the game, controlling it.
relax in our town, babies. the town is full of guys and ladies.
we got them drunk, we will invite you.
Akkol got more ladies that so exite you.
so you better come to us, to our bars, our hoods, our massage parlours.
салам из Казахстана, Акколь. одна ночь в Акколе.

Thats a Song for life 😁
Something addictive and catchy and intriguing about this song and I keep coming back to it over and over – Murray's matter of fact, "I'm over it" styled rap is just amazing, the over the top arrangement and production and, it's about playing chess, no less – I love it!
The guys from Abba definitely deserve alot of credit for creating this catchy, quarky & very original sounding song. It makes me wonder what ABBA would've sounded like had they not broken up & continued on into the 80's.
👍👍👍
Fun fact that you may already know, Murray Head is Anthony head's brother. The English guy in Buffy the vampire slayer. UK coffee advert etc.
half of this song is not even a song is jut fast talking
R.i.P Murray Head
Conheço essa música através do projeto alemão de música eletrônica Vinylshakerz,e assisti um pouco esse clipe da versão original,no MTV Lab Cult Trash,e vi que era uma regravação,nem assisti o clipe inteiro,mas lembro desse clipe
Songs of the 80s great not like the rubbish these days
I hate the way the guy sings in this but I absolutely love the song. I don’t know whether to cringe or bop to this
the instrumentation is cringe
O
I enjoy getting off on this merry song everyday
The only thing I can think of whenever I hear this song is how much coke he was on when making this.
Need this one on a hypotetic 80s synthpop radio station in GTA 6.
He sings "The kind of mate I'm contemplating" but his mouth actually says "The kind of move". You can see the "oo" sound his lips make.
What gives? Also, why did it take me 40 years to see this?
Underrated video
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." Google is your friend

The woman in this is so attractive and there is no information on her anywhere. Love this song so much. He really Delivers this song in a way unlike anyone else. The back ground people are outstanding as well. It really was a good team effort.
