Bangkok, Oriental setting
And the city don't know that the city is getting
The creme de la creme of the chess world in a
Show with everything but Yul Brynner

Time flies - doesn't seem a minute
Since the Tirolean spa had the chess boys in it
All change - don't you know that when you
Play at this level there's no ordinary venue

STOP!!!
Good lord man, do you know what you are doing to me???

 

[alsih2o]

STOP!!!
Good lord man, do you know what you are doing to me???

well, vaguely, but i do know where i am doing it-


Now in the street there is violence
And - and a lots of work to be done
No place to hang out our washing
And - and I can't blame all on the sun
Oh no we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
and then we'll take it higher
Oh we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue
and then we'll take it higher
Workin' so hard like a soldier
Can't afford a thing on TV
Deep in my heart I am warrior
Can't get food for them kid
Good God we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue

Two can play this game...


Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl
With yellow feathers in her hair and a dress cut down to there
She would merengue and do the cha-cha
But while she tried to be a star,
Tony always tended bar
Across the crowded floor, he worked from 8 til 4
They were young and they had each other
Who could ask for more?

At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana
Music and passion were always in fashion
At the Copa....they fell in love.

His name was Rico. He wore a diamond.
He was escorted to his chair, he saw Lola dancing there
And when she finished, he called her over,
But Rico went a bit to far,
Tony sailed across the bar
And then the punches flew and chairs were smashed in two
There was blood and a single gun shot
But just who shot who?

At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana (Copacabana)
The hottest spot north of Havana (here)
At the Copa (CO!), Copacabana
Music and passion were always in fashion
At the Copa....she lost her love.

Copa... Copacabana... music and passion... always the fashion...

OK, I don't mind some Falco, Murray Head or even Eddie Grant, but did we really need to bring Barry Manilow into this?

And how come nobody's quoted Devo yet?

1. One Night In Bangkok is from a musical written by Tim Rice, Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson. The last two were part of ABBA, and therefore can do no wrong. Thus, Chess is the best musical ever and One Night In Bangkok is beyond approach.

2. Murray has a brother named Anthony Stewart, who's been working mostly in the US the last seven years or so.

Hey! I busted out laughing at the Falco reference. I just didn't have anything witty to add. Just for the record, none of you have quoted anything I didn't recognize. Since I don't consider myself that old, none of you are either!

As for Devo, go for Working in a Coal Mine so we can digress onto Heavy Metal. In turn, that will circle around to BOC and we will be in sync with the Adventures from Songs thread.
