Prayut's 'Return Happiness' song tops Thai radio chart

[NongKhaiKid]

Catchy lyrics indeed, the sort I find myself singing all day long. Is there a RAP version ?

' Menacing danger, flames rising ' ?

Whatever happened to the all's well, everything's under control propaganda ?

[LannaGuy]

"played 1,042 times on radio" and "Royal Thai Army Band ranked no. 7 with 813 plays"

WOW I wonder why??????

[JAG]

My absolute no 1 song in my list of "Tunes to goosestep to"!

[soalbundy]

[aripengu]

[Friendly Stranger]

It topps the charts. By force.

[klauskunkel]

that news should return some happiness to the PM, the radio stations are complying

[eliotness]

Looks like we've gone from Spitting Image to Monty Pythons Flying Circus. I'm now waiting for Kermit and Miss Piggy to emerge, but we might see a Basil Fawlty soon !!!!!!!

How charming...next we may see army units dressed in pink tights dancing to the Nut Cracker...no pun intended...

This may be a big surprise to you, but the Chinese government produced songs about social harmony. The songs were not all that popular among the young and educated..

Does Mc Donalds have it playing in the toilet ?

If not they should, it goes just right with their burgers.

[Stokakrishna]

brainwashing.

i hear that song like 20 times a day at the school

[sawadee1947]

how much tea money to broadcast thet "song"?

[poohy]

All i can say is, It seems his song writing skills match that of his prime ministerial ones

[Krataiboy]

I prefer the Ken Dodd version any day.

[theguyfromanotherforum]

As someone with a degree in music I actually appreciate the song. It has a nice melody to it and is very catchy. I'll leave the politics aside.

[Stray]

Number One with a Bullet!

(A reference to the Billboard top 100 songs where a fast moving track was accompanied by a 'bullet' icon on the chart.)

[Crash999]

Still?? It's a catchy song but was released months ago.

[DM07]

I read the lyrics and I am now officially dumber than I was before!

[Dap]

I'm gonna' guess this news has "returned"

much happiness to Grammy Rock Singer

Definitely going to be a one-hit number!

[uli65]

I am sorry but I could not watch the clip and listen the song to the end. embarrassing.

[kimamey]

And they actually expect people to take them seriously?????

Hey, I bet it is never off English John's turntable...

Turntable!!! The time difference is substantially greater than I thought.

[digibum]

It's at the #1 spot on the American and UK charts as well . . . at least that's what they're telling Prayut.

[MaiChai]

Is it me or do all Thai pop songs sound the same?

If Thais love that song, well what can I say?
