hi @Philzy2k7 thanks for that. No we are not annoyed, how can we be, it's like asking Norman if he's annoyed that it was his most famous hit? We like both versions, and we are very happy that as people mature in their years they start to go more for the original. Moreover, its a song that represents the group quite wholly - the love of vinyl plastic records, with politics about not caring about Government warnings, that will always be relevant, whatever your years. Time is on our side.

1997, what a good year. Peace,

Hi there, we are glad to be back on the road again - we were away, only to make sure the video was in tip-top condition, so that it may remain going for many miles to come - sorry bout that.

This was a underrated gem of a record!

I never heard the record. Was this the best song on the album or was there a better one? I love this song.

BadAndy34 There was other good songs but I do not know if you think they were better than "Brimful of Asha" This was a 90s jam that I thought was underrated

Haven't heard this in a while, unexpectedly brought tears to my eyes and the smell of CK One to my mind. 1997, but feels like yesterday and a million years ago all at once for me the second this song started. That was a rough time in my life, but I knew some great people. Really something how much life can completely change in not even 20 years. Sometimes I wish I could go back in time for just a day to take pictures. Memories fade, but songs like this bring them back like nothing else.

"1997 cant get any better, waking up in the morning , going to work then college at night had this on my CD player , taking the train to manhattan and back up the bronx blasting this on my head phones" love it .

When my little boy got billied at school and he came back crying i would play this song and he will be smiling again thanks Cornershop.

This song was an tribute to indian playback singer asha bosle and about bollywood. With some interesting logic and old pop feeling. It was #1 in Uk chart those days and #12 in Us and #3 in ireland

My aunt introduced this to me, she was a student when this came out, and now I am. Generation to generation! Her five year old sings this! Soooo cute!

Ahh... Such a wonderful song! It really captures the feeling of the mid/late 90's perfectly...

It really does! I had to buy it twice on casette because I wore it out so much rewinding. Yeah I know it was on cd, I have an old soul or something like that ;)

I remember the first time I heard this song. I was in line at Six Flags waiting to ride a roller coaster. Just as we got to the front of the line, this song came on the overhead speaker. I was so amazed by it, I had to stop and step out of line to listen to it. Pretty fine song, make a guy pass up a ride on a roller coaster! I wish I understood Double-O Groove -- but I love the music. Every album has been excellent, and I'm glad you guys came back! Thanks!

it's a fact. playing this song in the morning will bring a happier day.

When I was younger I always preferred the remix and never bothered to listen to the original. Now I realize how awesome the original is.

Everybody needs a bosom for a pillow.

Today, I just listened to BBC World interview Asha Bhosle and they mentioned this song to her. I remembered and loved this song! Props to Cornershop, even though (as of 2015) I am almost 20 years late! SMH

Takes you back to the good times!

So old school, brings back the 90s feeling

My daughter is named Asha (her mum's Indian) and this song came out when we were expecting her. When I found out that Asha is Sanskrit for "hope" ther was no other name we could consider!

Right on, a Right ON. A lot of new stuff gives us gas.

Cornershop were all class. Right in the vein of the awesome and eclectic alternative bands of the late 90s like Cibo Matto.

It certainly seems to be one of those songs, and is regularly heard in football stadiums, weddings and funerals.

Great song .. Hard to believe its nearly 20 years old now. One of those all-round top groove feel-good tunes. "We don't need no government warnings".....haha!

I have spent the last 6 months trying to find this song, I could never hear enough of the lyrics to find the song.... that chorus ! all is good in the world

This song used to get airplay on a great independent radio station that has long since gone off the air. Super duper happy memories from my college days. Love Cornershop.

My God, how could I go so long not realizing how much I love this. This song just came to my lips from nothing a minute ago after not hearing it for more than a decade and I feel so warm inside. Thank you CornershopHQVEVO

This song brings me back to North Carolina late 1997 early 1998 hearing this song on the radio. 1998 I moved back to Duluth Minnesota and asked around about this song and people people said "Brimful of Asha 45?" I don't know what you are talking about. Glad I found this after sixteen years of not hearing it.

That's funny, I'm from Virginia but was up in the twin cities (I know Duluth is a good two or three hours north of MSP) Christmas of '97 and all the college and alternative stations there were playing it.It was in heavy rotation in the Richmond Va. area.Great memories.

It was such a refreshing song, and Zima was such a refreshing drink! Where did all the "good" go???

I started drinkin till i was thinking what was the name of that band from my childhood that i cant for the life of me rember then the song title came to mind and i got my self a free trip to the past down memory lane love this song and allways will

This song is based upon the history of film culture in India. Since their introduction, Indian films have relied heavily on song-and-dance numbers. Almost always, the singing was performed by background singers while the actors and actresses lip-sync. Asha Bhosle is one of these playback singers who has sung over 12,000 songs. Playback singers Lata Mangeshkar (her older sibling) and Mohammad Rafi (one of the top male playback singers of the mid-century) are also mentioned in the song-Wikipedia

when this first came out, heard it 3 or 4 times on Edge 102.1 in Toronto. totally catchy and uplifting, but back then almost impossible to nail down the name of a song. On Feb 10, on the drive home on CBC 2 (older now, with kids 11 and 7 - who obviously didn't exist when the song first came out), heard the song while my wife was trying to tell me an important story. didn't hear a word; went online, found the song and bought it on iTunes. Have been very happy ever since - spreading the word!

This has a very addictive tune and chorus. Its so catchy like 'Pumped up kicks'

I heard this song on the radio when I was young, I didn't know the title neither the name of the band and right today I discovered Brimful of Asha......Aaah what a day ! Thank you Cornershop for this beautiful song

this was one of my favorite songs and still is! i miss the 90s a lot :)

Very glad to hear it. It does not seem to have got any less popular, but even so a very good start in life.

Amazing song. I remember being little and my dad listening to this song :]

45, 33 and 78 are typical revolutions (turns) per minute. These are speeds, whereas record sizes are typically 7" (inch) 12" and every now and then 10".

Asha Bhosle, Lata Mangeshkar and Muhammad Rafi, all are the gems world will never know.

I can clearly remember singing this song in my bedroom as a kid... no clue what the words meant but sang along anyway

Saw them live in the 90's when they opened for Oasis. Great show! I remember reading that Noel Gallagher was a big fan of theirs.

Once again, this song will be in my head every waking hour for the next month. Classic.

Mohammed Rafi (45) Lata Mangeshkar (45) Solid-state radio (45) Ferguson mono (45) Bande publique (45) Jacques Dutronc and the Bolan Boogie The heavy hitters and the chi-chi music All India Radio (45) Two-in-ones (45) Argo Records (45) Trojan Records (45)

Love this song! Think I was twelve when I first heard it on the radio and when the "everybody needs a bosom for a pillow" part came on - I was hooked!

The amount of times I've got high to this song....

Song is beautiful. When everything in your life is tumultuous all you need is a good 45 to throw on the player and you forget all about it.

"Everybody needs a bosom, mine's on the 45." Yes.

Man...this song was the whip when it came out. I was in 10th grade and jammed out to this all the time. This song brings back good memories and I love it! What a great tune. Music like this is inspirational and sounds so good. I LOVE IT!!! And I agree...everybody needs a bosom for a pillow!

Brilliant! Reminds me of the good ole 90s!

You cant listen to this song and not smile. Staple of my 90's soundtracks.

a piece of art!!!

Thank you Cornershop

This to me just does it... it captures the time and the place - come on you can remember when and where and how you were when you first heard this!

I remember hearing the Original first back in the fall of '97. I loved it. The Norman Cook version I heard on an electronic compilation I got later in 1998. Both versions rule!

God, I love this song. I saw Cornershop open for Oasis back in the late nineties. Great show. One of their songs had a maybe five or six minute jam at the end of it; I don't know the song's name but it was incredible. Really a great band, I need to get into some of their lesser known stuff.

This song pops in my head every now and then and hangs out for a while. Nice hooks, cool video.

great song. . .under the radar. . .still fresh

LOVE Cornershop. I saw 'em just by chance on a side stage at Lollapallooza in the late 90's and been hooked ever since.

This song reminds me of being 14!

I remember when I was little, every time I heard this song on the TV I would run out of wherever I was and into the living room just to hear it better. e.g. In the bathroom making shortcakes...my mum slapped me so hard that time!

really love this and the retro 70s look of the video,,

I will always come back to this song! Put it on at a party and you get a lot of happy people:) And the video is a classic

Damn, been looking for this song for ages. Such a sweet song, reminds me of my childhood

that's what makes the song so good, the simplicity, easy beat and the violins at the end just add that special something. I thought I was the only one who loved this song.

Thumbs up for listening to this in 2011. Came home after a night of clubbing to jam this song on the guitar. I am 20 years old and this will never get old! :D

I loved this tune in the 90s!

What a great song! It really captures the sound of an earlier time.

This song was in my head for 15 years from seeing the perform on Conan O'Brien in 1997 or 1998. I finally got around to looking up the lyrics and discovered who they were.

just discovered this band but i have a feeling that it wont be the last i hear of them, i really enjoy!

This song brings my childhood memories-i have searched this song a while and finally i found it. Like they say "some songs never dies"

asha and lata, my fave female singers :)

After all these years, this still sounds fresh!

A wonderful hommage to the blue note record cover art...

mines on the 45!

I'm so glad this is back on KZread, it was gone for about 2 years :( I just ran across an Asha Bhosle vid and it reminded me of this, I'm glad it's back.

still remember listening to this on my CD walkman on the flight to osaka in 97

Alomost 10 years looking x this song, thank you, you bring me back some of my 90's :)

I remember listening to this when I was 3/4 ish. I heard it on the radio today driving through my old neighbourhood and it brought back childhood memories. Love it!

I met many Indian friends in yahoo chat. They are awesome and so are you guys.

it never gets old

This whole album was great. Reminds me of college myself.

Ooooh my god, years and years of shorts memories of this song, and i find it again.

This is a really great song and I love it!! although the first time I heard it I was in prison. Personally, I don't care for the re-mix, it doesn't compare to the original. This vid had been removed several times, I saved it to my computer years ago, I just came here to see if it was up, I'm glad it is plus I get to watch it again. Asha Bhosle keeps the dream alive.

That's great, Tjinder has been waiting for years anlysis and appreciation like that, i'm sure it has made him very happy.

an episode of Friends comes to mind

This song will never get old.

Thank you so much for putting this video up. I couldn't find it for years.

Ahhhh...loved and still love this song....Cornershop rule :)

Being 17, I pretty much grew up with the Fatboy Slim remix of this. But I realized that the original version is such a gem. It's very relaxing while the Fatboy Slim remix is a partybomb. Both are equally awesome in their own way.

What a tune! Still gets played in Bars today! Class Act

Basically all I remember from last nights drinking is this song. Awesome!
