One Night in Bangkok
Chess
Yes. This is the song you are thinking of. And yes, it comes from a Broadway musical.
Chess was an odd musical, mixing the themes of an international chess tournament, an ensuing love triangle between chess contestants, and a cold war rivalry. It kind of sounds like a plot put together via Mad Libs.
And apparently it had as much appeal - it only lasted two months on the US stage back in 1988. However, the concept album spawned this crazy popular song, which was originally written by the boys in ABBA.
Happy listening!
