  • Mai keha sadi asha jhinah sadian sukh sabelian
    Nu din raat nu aoondian hain, kimarh karke

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

    Brimful of asha on the 45
    Well, it's a brimful of asha on the 45
    Brimful of asha on the 45
    Well, it's a brimful of asha on the 45

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

    Brimful of asha on the 45
    Well it's a brimful of asha on the 45
    Brimful of asha on the 45
    Well it's a brimful of asha on the 45

    And singing
    Illuminate the main streets
    And the cinema aisles
    We don't care bout no government warning
    About their promotion of the simple life
    And the dams they're building

    Brimful of asha on the 45
    Well it's a brimful of asha on the 45
    Brimful of asha on the 45
    Well it's a brimful of asha on the 45

    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 45

    Mohamed Rufhi 45
    Lata Mangeshkar 45
    Solid state radio 45
    Ferguson mono 45

    Bon public 45
    Jacques Dutronc and the Bolan Boogies
    The Heavy Hitters and the chi chi music

    All India radio 45
    Two in ones 45
    Argo records 45
    Trojan records 45

    Brimful of asha on the 45
    Well it's a brimful of asha on the 45
    Brimful of asha on the 45
    Well it's a brimful of asha on the 45

    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 45

    Seventy-seven thousand piece orchestra set
    Everybody needs a bosom for a pillow
    Mine's on the RPM

    Brimful of asha on the 45
    Well it's a brimful of asha on the 45
    Brimful of asha on the 45
    Well it's a brimful of asha on the 45

    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 45 Writer/s: Tjinder Singh

  • Nonetheless from SydneyWho is the girl playing the records in the music video?
  • Dave from TorontoAndy - New Zealand, he mentions her full name in the song. so..no, you are wrong :)
  • Andy from New ZealandNah, you all wrong. It's a nod to Tony Asher. Beach Boys, The 45 is the singles. (45 RPM) 7 inch record. Check him out.
  • Niall from Dublin, IrelandJan: I don't believe the 3 chord trick has bee copyrighted(yet!) Seriously, you're fixating on the v vague similarities and paying no attention to a very original song & concept. I don't think Cornetshop see themselves as musical trailblazers, more just a bunch of lads expressing themselves and more importantly delivering a fun tune with a bit of history thrown in. Relax man!!
  • Alex from Hartlepool, United KingdomKid Rock-All Summer Long is the rip off of Werewolves Of London
  • John from Littleport, EnglandRe Jan from Lawrenceville:
    'Brimful of Asha' sounds NOTHING like 'Werewolves of London'........

    Try getting the wax removed from your ears and listen to it again you idiot!!!!!!
  • Jan from Lawrenceville, GaTHis song was a rip off of warren zevon's werewolves of london, they both sound identical, and you people still can't figure it out, corner shop are just a bunch of song theives
  • Zubin from Mumbai, IndiaI LIKE THE LINE everybody needs a bosom for a pillow...
    and i tot the line 7,700 piece orchestra set,everybody needs a bosom for pillow,mines on rpm
    i tot this line was meant abt a car like 7,700 mechanical pieces in a car working and moving in a orchestra like harmony and tune and then my bosom is in the rpm ....i tot twas a cool line until i knew by rpm he meant the 45rpm vinyl record!
  • Louise from Newcastle, United KingdomThis is one of those evil tracks that get stuck in your head. Lovely to hear on a night out.
  • Mjn Seifer from Not Listed For Personal Reason, EnglandI actually said "remix" and not "cover" when I sent this in.

    And there's a point: Why did my name get left off these?
  • Mark from London, EnglandFatboy Slim's version was a remix.
