Most of the original members were also in the Preston band General Havoc.
Their name comes from a term that refers to Indian immigrants that move to England, in that they often own street corner stores. Their music is a fusion of Indian music, British indie rock, and electronic dance.
In 1997, Cornershop shot into the UK charts with the song 'Brimful of Asha' reaching number 60! Things changed when DJ Norman Cook (aka Fatboy Slim) remixed the track for re-release in 1998. The remix topped the chart, selling over 200,000 copies in 7 days! The track featured lyrics about Bollywood playback singer, Asha Bhosle.

Cornershop Lyrics
Mudke piche na vekhi na
Vekhe kithe hassi na
Mudke piche na vekhi na
Vekhe kithe hassi na
Dil laavein kadi ek naal de
Kudiyaan nu dhoke vich rakhi na
Ki tere piche lag gaiyaan kudiyaan kudiyaan
Ni tere piche lag gaiyaan kudiyaan
Ki tere piche lag gaiyaan kudiyaan kudiyaan
Ni tere piche lag gaiyaan kudiyaan
Mauj masti kar le ve
Jitho di jawaani hai sohneya
Dil vich teriyaan shaukaan ve
Ajj hi puriyan kar le tu
Mud mud dinn nai aane ve
Soch samajh ke ve sohneya
Ki tere piche lag gaiyaan kudiyaan kudiyaan
Ni tere piche lag gaiyaan kudiyaan
Ki tere piche lag gaiyaan kudiyaan kudiyaan
Ni tere piche lag gaiyaan kudiyaan
Teriya shaukeeniya ne maar suteya
Gaddi vich baike gaane sunnda
Kisi di a galla vich aake ne
Jhoote laare na laanvi
Sach hi sach vich sab kuch ve
Sache hi rehna sohneya ve
Mudke piche na vekhi na
Vekhe kithe hassi na
Dil laavein kadi ek naal de
Kudiyaan nu dhoke vich rakhi na
Ki tere piche lag gaiyaan kudiyaan kudiyaan
Tere piche lag gaiyaan kudiyaan
Ki tere piche lag gaiyaan kudiyaan kudiyaan
Tere piche lag gaiyaan kudiyaan
Mauj masti kar le ve
Jitho di jawaani hai sohneya
Dil vich teriyaan shaukaan ve
Ajj hi puriyan kar le tu
Mud mud dinn nai aane ve
Soch samajh ke ve sohneya
Ki tere piche lag gaiyaan kudiyaan kudiyaan
Tere piche lag gaiyaan kudiyaan
Ki tere piche lag gaiyaan kudiyaan kudiyaan
Tere piche lag gaiyaan kudiyaan
Vekhe kithe hassi na
Mudke piche na vekhi na
Vekhe kithe hassi na
Dil laavein kadi ek naal de
Kudiyaan nu dhoke vich rakhi na
Ki tere piche lag gaiyaan kudiyaan kudiyaan
Ni tere piche lag gaiyaan kudiyaan
Ki tere piche lag gaiyaan kudiyaan kudiyaan
Mauj masti kar le ve
Jitho di jawaani hai sohneya
Dil vich teriyaan shaukaan ve
Ajj hi puriyan kar le tu
Mud mud dinn nai aane ve
Soch samajh ke ve sohneya
Ki tere piche lag gaiyaan kudiyaan kudiyaan
Ni tere piche lag gaiyaan kudiyaan
Ki tere piche lag gaiyaan kudiyaan kudiyaan
Ni tere piche lag gaiyaan kudiyaan
Teriya shaukeeniya ne maar suteya
Gaddi vich baike gaane sunnda

I believe she is singing :
"Don't turn around and look, but if you do turn around and look don't
laugh (2x)...You should claim one girl and not trick soo many girls
(play with their hearts)...All the girls get behind you (he has a lot of
girl suitors, they pursue him)...All the girls get behind you...All the
girls get behind you...Enjoy and mess around (innocently the way kids
do) a little while you are still young...In your heart there are lots
desires, fulfill your desires today...These days won't come back, think
wisely about that, handsome one...All the girls get behind you (repeats
over)...You like sitting in a car and listening to music...Don't speak lies even in idle gossip...
Speak truth and live a truthful life...

Count your lucky stars that you’re alive, hopefully in relatively good health, and able to listen to music as good as this.
@patrickmcdermott6285
Thank you but I'm not in the best of health,but I'm enjoying the music nonetheless.

Someone told me to listen to Cornershop this morning. So happy I did. 😊

These guys were way ahead of their time. Cannot believe this is 9 years old
@vexathebassinjector

@Gay_cenobite
I think even by now it’s at least 20ish years old, it’s pretty crazy
@MarkMcDougall
Glad I decided to find more Cornershop music. Finding some really beautiful and relaxing ambient tunes.
@derajedaem
I play this for my daughter to make her smile.
@arfer
Tjinder Singh is a frickin genius.
