In the 30 odd years that I've adored CORNERSHOP....I've never seen this...and it's incredible. It's punk as "Shut up shop...." and amazing, it's Lou Reed-good. Damn!
Simple but great-sounding song, with a classic chord progression; a prime example of keeping it simple to obtain the best results. Enjoyed the video - thanks for uploading it.
Conan was so young back then 😊 Me too, I guess. I still remember Conan's Y2K jokes. I really love brimfull of asha. The singer's accent makes the song even better.
Nobody in my family can say the number 45 without mimicking him. My children were raised that way and it a permanent part of their speech. It really started as a joke but went from there. Its taken on a life of its own..45
young people used to be able to pay attention for 4 minutes at a time, to listen to music... can you believe it? these days they'd click next before Conan even said the band name lol
It's about a playback singer named Asha Bosle, whose voice was used for actors in Bollywood movies to lip-sync in musical numbers. Brimful of Asha on the 45 means Asha being on a 45rpm musical record
@@rikiishitoru8885indeed, Asha also means hope in Hindi language... Therefore, Brimful of Asha could also mean "overflowing of hope", which is very beautiful
