Reading W Magazine, I found a commerical photoshoot by Philip-Lorca diCorcia, the subtitle of which read: "Can one stay in Bangkok make a hard woman humble? Not this one as she does business in power suits and explores more clandestine delights in something racier." In looking up the reference I found Murry Head's track and went from there.
The karaoke images are unedited google image results for each word of the lyrics. The larger images come from broader web searches on the same.
the download is full-res and, in theory, ipod compatible.
(when downloading, be sure you right click and save the file, rather than just clicking on the link. it opens as text otherwise)

Side story: I was in Bangkok 2 years ago and found this little dusty record store, right off the road in the Chinatown district. It was packed floor to ceiling with LP's, 7inch, 45's, tapes of 60's 70's 80's music from the US, China, Thailad but mostly stuff from Vietnam.
It was so dusty in there. Everything was covered in soot because it was right off a very busy main street. I managed to spend 2 hours in there and picked up some great and not so great vinyl. Among the heaps of records was the Murray Head single "One Night in Bangkok". I picked that one up along with learning Chinese alphabet, some Thai soul, and Korean accordion music.
which sometimes paralleled the non-interactive, paired down, net art like young hae chang (yhchang.com/).
