Cornershop - Brimful Of Asha, Norman Cook Mix (Tjinder Singh) Official Music Video
youtube.com
Brimful Of Asha is from the classic When I Was Born For The 7th Time album. It was John Peel's Festive 50 no.1 on BBC Radio 1 in 1997, and this version made it to no.1 in the UK charts. Norman Cook liked the original so much he requested to mix it himself, and it resulted in one of the most well known tracks that the world has ever heard.

Apart from being a damn catchy tune, I find this song to be really interesting from a popular culture perspective on a few levels.

    Yes, my thoughts exactly. I would also say that specifically, having the subject matter being a tribute Indian music/cinema, their name being a reference to cultural stereotypes and the mix of musical styles and influences (Indian, electronica, indie etc.)
