I agree it's very clever, song and video. Duality is used a lot and in these puns 'mate', 'Knight', 'Queen' - Chess itself is duality. Bangkok is perfect foil offering two things sex/lurid thrills or culture/history - angel/devil. Love the sardonic wit when he describes how the tourist is 'only'.... 'watching the game, controlling it'... Which is the truth, Bangkok nature reflect's it's tourists'.
