The kingdom of Champa (Campadesa or nagara Campa in Cham and Cambodian inscriptions written in Devanagari as चंपा;[citation needed]Chăm Pa in Vietnamese, 占城 Chiêm Thành in Hán Việt and Zhàn chéng in Chinese records) was an Indianized kingdom that controlled what is now southern and central Vietnam from approximately the 7th century through to 1832.
The Cham people are remnants of this kingdom. They speak Cham, a Malayo-Polynesian language.
Champa was preceded in the region by a kingdom called Lin-yi (林邑, Middle Chinese *Lim Ip) or Lâm Ấp (Vietnamese) that was in existence from 192 AD, but the historical relationship between Lin-yi and Champa is not clear. Champa reached its apogee in the 9th and 10th centuries. Thereafter began a gradual decline under pressure from Đại Việt, the Vietnamese polity centered in the region of modern Hanoi. In 1471, Viet troops sacked the northern Cham capital of Vijaya, and in 1697 the southern principality of Panduranga became a vassal of the Vietnamese emperor. In 1832, the Vietnamese emperor Minh Mạng annexed the remaining Cham territories. Mỹ Sơn, a former religious center, and Hội An, one of Champa's main port cities, are now heritage listed.

Cruising through busy streets
Neon lights shining bright
On shiny black leather seats
Hang a left hang a right
On the corners outta site
Midnight traffic light green's for go go
Backstreet joyride, we love soho
Shiny black, shiny black
Shiny black taxi cab
When you're trowing up
You feel bad in a shiny black taxi cab
In a shiny taxi cab
Our meter's doing overtime
Suberbia has gone to sleep
As the city starts to come alive
And everybody's on the street
Late shows, adult mags
Sleezy brown dirty macs
Midnight traffic light green's for go go
Backstreet joyride, we love soho

D'you know, I had them girls in
The back of the cab the other week?
Sick all over the back seat
I had to charge 'em double
They oughta bring back the birch
You know, bring back national service
Bring back hanging, hanging
Hanging's too good for 'em
I'm not prejudice or anything
You know, these mini cab drivers
They've got no tax, no insurance
Some of 'em don't even have a bleedin' car
