When I first heard this song in the '80s, I didn't know it was from a musical - it was just really cool and weird and exciting. Benny and Bjorn from ABBA wrote the music, and Tim Rice wrote the lyrics, which explains the awesomeness. I'd love to see Chess - I think the political, Cold War story would still hold up. Maybe there's a revival in the works?
