Murray Head - One Night in Bangkok; Consider the lyrics by Tansin A. Darcos (TDARCOS) 02/29/2012, 8:39pm PST
If you've not heard the song, you can watch the video, it's about a guy at a high-level chess game, and trying to ignore the fleshpots of that part of the world. Listen for the part at about 2:40:

It came to me that I suspect that he wanted to say "whorehouses" in place of "massage parlors" which in that part of the world is probably the case (it's often the case in the United States too), but as they sang in Peter Paul and Mary's I dig rock and roll music:

But if I really say it, the radio won't play it.
