One Night In Bangface

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Listening, as you do, to Murray Head's "One Night In Bangkok", it strikes me that this is a fairly straight-faced attempt by Benny and Bjorn to make an electro record - even - perhaps - a rap record. What on earth might ABBA have sounded like if they'd not split up, I wonder.

(The circumstance was making a CD for someone at work containing Western pop songs about the Far East. I drew some kind of moral line at Turning Japanese. Any opportunity to hear "Cambodia" again is a good one, though.)

As I may have said before, I think 1NiB invented the PSBs, kind of.

What's wrong with Turning Japanese? Fantastic use in Charlie's Angels, when the dress up as JAPANERS!
