Cornershop - Brim Full Of Asha

Cornershop - Brimful Of Asha [Lyrics Explained] [Bio]
I liked this song when it came out, but I forgot about until it until I was looking for videos the other day on Youtube.  I had never seen the video before.  It's great!  When I first heard this song, I didn't know what the lyrics meant, but I liked the catchy beat of this song.  As it turns out, Asha refers to the famous Hindi Bollywood backup singer Asha Bhosle, who is believed to have sung over 12,000 songs, but her sister is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records! 

Here are a few YouTube examples of Asha singing Dil ki kahani rang layi (1960?) and here is a color version, Water Ballet (1958) and O Mere Sona Re (1966).  Also, I found out that Fatboy Slim's remix version of this song made it higher in the charts than the original release of Brimful of Asha.  Here's another one of Cornershop's videos - Sleep on the left side from the same album - When I Was Born for the 7th Time.
