By an
amazing
coincidence
, the
song
"
Brimful
Of
Asha
" was
written
at
exactly
the same
time
by
five
different
bands
:
Kula
Shaker
,
Iron
Maiden
,
Cornershop
,
Wet
Wet
Wet
, and a
student
band
from
Aberdeen
called
Stirring
Cabbage
.
Cornershop
won
the
right
to
record
the
song
in a
game
of
pontoon
to which
Stirring
Cabbage
were -
rather
unfairly
- not
invited
.
