Song of the day – Cornershop “Brim Full of Asha”

Today’s song comes from the mid 90′s. I don’t know how or why it popped into my head and I thought I would share the love.

Cornershop are a British indie band formed in Leicester in 1992 by Wolverhampton-born Tjinder Singh (singer, songwriter, and dholaki player), his brother Avtar Singh (bass guitar, vocals), David Chambers (drums) and Ben Ayres (guitar, keyboards, and tamboura), the first three having previously been members of Preston-based band General Havoc, who released one single (the “Fast Jaspal EP”) in 1991.^[1].The band name originated from a stereotype referring to British Asians that they often own street corner stores. Their music is a fusion of Indian music, British indie rock, and electronic dance.   source: Wikipedia

Cornershop – Brimful of Asha

Lyrics after the jump

There’s dancing behind movie scenes
Behind the movie scenes – Sadi Rani
She’s the one that keeps the dream alive,
From the morning, past the evening,
Till the end of the light
Brimful of Asha on the forty-five
Well, it’s a brimful of Asha on the forty-five
Brimful of Asha on the forty-five
Well, it’s a brimful of Asha on the forty-five
and singing illuminate the main streets and the cinema aisles
We don’t care about no government warning
about that promotion of the simple life and the dams they are building

{Chorus:}
Everybody needs a bosom for a pillow,
everybody needs a bosom
Everybody needs a bosom for a pillow,
everybody needs a bosom
Everybody needs a bosom for a pillow,
everybody needs a bosom

Mine’s on the forty-five
Mohammed Ruffi (forty-five)
Lata Mangeshka (forty-five)
solid state radio (forty-five)
ferguson mono (forty-five)
Mon public (forty-five)
Jacques Dutronc and the Bolan Boogies
the Heavy Hitters and the chi chi music
All Indian radio (forty-five)
two in ones (forty-five)
ovvo records (forty-five)
trojan records (forty-five)

{Chorus}

{Chorus 2:}
7-7, 000 piece orchestra set
everybody needs a bosom for a pillow mines on the RPM…

{Chorus}

{Chorus}
