Sort of on topic, but yesterday I discovered that "One Night In Bangkok" was written by the guys in ABBA.

Did not know that.

That's a revelation, though not really surprising either. The chorus has that kind of quirky, 80s Euro pop, elegantly cheesy, super catchy vibe which many ABBA songs share. It really is a work of pop music genius. A song like this would probably not be able to be released today. The SJWs would claim it represents colonial, Eurocentric views and depicts a Westerner's demeaning, exotic, picaresque perspective of the East.

Agreed. I went ahead and actually read all the lyrics, which kind of impressed me. Pithy, sarcastic, and cynical. Probably Tim Rice's influence, although it does appear Ulvaeus had a hand in them as well--according to Wikipedia. Miles away lyrically from most of the stuff they wrote with ABBA:

"You'll find a god in every golden cloister — And if you're lucky then the god's a she"
