Neeranam Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 When I came to Thailand in 1992, the songs that were playing all the time in the go gos were "One Night in Bangkok" and one about "Alice". On the islands, Bob Marley was always playing but the one that was a hit at the time was the following and always reminds me of when I came here.

Just this week, i clicked on a number of vids, referred to in news articles, e.g The Animals, this one and so on. There is no sound. I read up on problem solving. But no joy. Anyone advise me, in plain English, ? tia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangyai Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 For me this song always makes me think of Thailand. I was stuck in England for two months sorting out some business when this came out. The lyric " everything you want is just a dream away " really made me miss my wife and home here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Neeranam Posted February 2, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 2, 2021 (edited) Before I came here, I was in a rehab one miserable day in Aberdeen, with sideways snow and this song was on the radio often. Then I decided I would go to Thailand, which I did the next year. This was exactly 30 years ago, actually.

Popular Post Neeranam Posted February 2, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 2, 2021 When I arrived here, I stayed in Khao San Road, a wonderful place in 1992. I went for a walk to Sanam Luang and there was a band playing, they were protesting about a law to wear helmets. They were called "Carabao". When they were playing, armoured vehicles/tanks started surrounding the whole area. I was <deleted> scared as there had been a massacre there a few months earlier; I quickly made my way back to the infamous hole in the wall bar and got <deleted> on Sang Thip and coke. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdemundo Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 In the year 2000 a song called "Sim Salambim" was everywhere all the time. It was by a girl from Holland I think, used to be on YouTube but not anymore. "Zombie" which I rarely hear in the US I hear all the time in Thailand. Madonna's song "What It Feels Like for a Girl" when I hear it I have a little flashback to Bangkok what ever year that was popular. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker88 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 What often surprises me is how clueless---or maybe it's willing----to play songs whose lyrics (in English) are as prurient and foul as can be. Perhaps the words do not strike their ears the same way they do native English speakers. I remember driving to Pattaya a few years ago, with one of the local stations on the radio, playing "Short (nickname for Richard) Man". Afterwards the DJ, speaking in Thai, said something I did not understand recounting (I assume) what was just played and who sang it, then with a perfect English accent said the name "Short (nickname for Richard) Man" in the same tone he would have used in commenting on "Hey, Jude" or the Titanic song. Nothing in the song was bleeped out, either, so every swear and every description was played over the airways for all to hear. For those who don't know the tune, and if a YouTube link can be noted, here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fcrexKS8kxA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieH Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I suppose another song that is done to death here by anyone who thinks they can sing or play an instrument.......heard everywhere in bars etc.......Hotel California ! God that song is like nails on a blackboard now, but is "Thailand" whenever I here it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
