Anyone fond of the ageing classic, One Night in Bangkok, performed by Murray Head?

The song is actually about a chess tournament and if my music knowledge is correct, was written by Abba (ie, Benny Anderson and Bjorn Ulvaeus - aren't those guys commonly known as Abba?) for a Tim Rice musical.

If you're really lucky, I might post the entire lyric here. But that's only if you're, like, really lucky.

We who suffer and endure ask - why?

And there was me expecting more pictures of young ladies in skimpy tops.

yeah, what a let down TH oo-er did I mean to say that?

IZ.

So did we all.

Wasn't the musical called "Chess" or something similar totally unrelated to chess...

I didn't!!

But that's because I didn't read the title!

Wasn't the Paige & Dickson classic 'I know him so well' from the same show?

Very Abba type video anyway, if it wasn't.

I think you could be right. Then again all of the Tim Rice / Andrew Lloyd Webber crap tends to blur together into one huge meta-musical. Jesus Cats Superstarlight Exprevita and his Amazing Technicolor Dreamchess.

yeah, it's called chess. for the time, i thought it was pretty clever. but then i'm an abba completist, so i'm bound to be biased

A musical about chess? Almost as interesting as watching Geoffrey Boycott open for England.

A bit harsh on Boycott don't you think?
