Overview

"Cambodia" is the fourth single by British singer Kim Wilde. It was released at the end of 1981—a year in which Wilde had already obtained three highly successful hit singles and a best-selling debut album. The single was another international success, topping the charts of France, Sweden and Switzerland and reaching the top 10 in several other nations. The song was not released in North America. "Cambodia" was released on the 7-inch format but also as a 12-inch single in West Germany, although not in a remixed or extended version. The B-side of both releases is an exclusive non-album track called "Watching for Shapes". "Cambodia" was later included on Wilde's second album, Select, which was released six months after the single, in May 1982. Composition "Cambodia" was written by Marty Wilde and Ricki Wilde and has a length of seven minutes and thirteen seconds; on the album, it is teamed with a more uptempo instrumental version of the song called "Reprise". Musically and lyrically, "Cambodia" showed a change in direction for Kim Wilde from the new wave feel of her debut album. The song was mainly synth-driven, with east Asian-sounding percussion. According to Wilde:

Notable quotes

“In Cambodia, or Indo-China, Buddhism conspired with Hinduism to provide the religious framework for one of the richest ages in the history of Oriental art.”
— Will Durant, Our Oriental Heritage : India and Her Neighbors.
“[ Nixon] wants a massive bombing campaign in Cambodia. He doesn't want to hear anything about it. It's an order, to be done. Anything that flies on anything that moves.”
— Phone call with Gen. Alexander Haig (9 December 1970) quoted in National Security Archive Electronic Briefing Book No. 123. The quotation was an excerpt from one of several phone conversations in which Kissinger ridiculed Nixon’s views about the war: "When Nixon proposed an escalation in the bombing of Cambodia, Kissinger and Haig felt obliged to humor the president while laughing at him behind his back" (Washington Post, May 27, 2004).
