Brimful Of Asha (Norman Cook Remix) Lyrics

Brimful Of Asha (Norman Cook Remix) Song Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's dancing behind movie scenes
Behind the movie screens - Sadi Rani
She's the one that keeps the dream alive
From the morning, past the evening
To the end of the light

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
And dancing behind movie scenes
Behind those movie scenes - Asha Bhosle
She's the one that keeps the dream alive
From the morning, past the evening
To the end of the light

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Verse 3]
And singing
Illuminate the main streets and the cinema aisles
We don't care about no government warning
'Bout their promotion of a simple life
And the dams they're building

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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
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
[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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
Everybody needs a bosom for a pillow
Everybody needs a bosom

[Outro]
I'm singin' and dancin'
I'm singin' and dancin'
I'm singin' and dancin'
I'm singin' and dancin'
And dancin' and dancin'
And dancin' and dancin'
And dancin' and dancin'
And dancin' and dancin'
Mine's on the RPM

"Brimful of Asha" by Cornershop, remixed by Norman Cook (also known as Fatboy Slim), is not jist a catchy tune but a rich tapestry of cultural references and tributes, specifically to the vibrant world of Indian cinema and the legendary singer Asha Bhosle. The original song, written by Tjinder Singh, the band's frontman, serves as an homage to the influence of Bollywood on South Asian culture and its diaspora, highlighting how it acts as a unifying force that keeps the dream alive from morning until night.

The title "Brimful of Asha" is itself a direct nod to Asha Bhosle, who is celebrated not just for her extensive wotk as a playback singer in Indian cinema but also for her role in bringing joy and resilience through her music. The song's lyrics, with repeated mentions of "on the forty-five," refer to the 45 RPM vinyl records, symbolizing the medium through which Bhosle's voice was historically disseminated to the public. This repetition emphasizes the nostalgic connection to a period when music was not just entertainment but a source of comfort and hope during times of instability and unrest.

Norman Cook's remix of the song, which sped up the original track and modulated it to a higher key, brought it to a wider audience, achieving significant chart success. It became a number-one single on the UK Singles Chart in February 1998 and was celebrated by critics and fans alike for its infectious energy and ability to cross cultural boundaries. The remix not only paid homage to the golden era of Bollywood and its icons like Asha Bhosle but also highlighted the power of music to transcend geographical and cultural divides.
