Stream Brimful of Asha (Norman Cook Remix) (Single Version) by Cornershop from desktop or your mobile device. Some might argue – especially as Norman Cook himself has jokingly conceded it – that Fatboy Slim ruined “Brimful Of Asha”. It’s certainly true that the bits he slices out are some of the song’s most beautiful and important.

'Brimful of Asha' is a single by British alternative rock band Cornershop from their third album When I Was Born for the 7th Time. The recording originally reached number 60 on the UK Singles Chart in 1997. After a remixed version by Norman Cook became a radio and critical success, the song was re-released and reached number one on the UK chart[2] and number 16 on the US Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart in 1998. The lyric is a tribute to Asha Bhosle.[3]
Background[edit]
This song is based on the history of film culture in India. Since their beginnings, Indian films have relied heavily on song-and-dance numbers. The singing is almost always performed by background singers while the actors and actresses lip sync. Asha Bhosle is a playback singer who has sung over 12,000 songs and is referred to as 'Sadi rani' (Punjabi for 'our queen') at one point in the lyrics. In the slower, original album recording, playback singers Lata Mangeshkar (her older sibling) and Mohammed Rafi (one of the top male playback singers of the mid-century) are mentioned. The lyrics in the bridge contain a number of references to non-Indian music, including Georges Brassens' song 'Les Amoureux des bancs publics', Jacques Dutronc, Marc Bolan, Argo Records and Trojan Records.[4]
DJ Norman Cook ('Fatboy Slim') was asked to remix the track by speeding it up and modulating the song to a higher key (halfway between B-flat and B, rather than in A). The remix saw major success as a number 1 single.[citation needed]
Music video[edit]
The music video for the song was directed by Phil Harder and produced by Harder/Fuller Films. It was filmed in a house in Lewisham, London.[5]
