And while not off the album, here’s a Fatboy Slim remix of Cornershop’s ode to Bollywood, Brimful of Asha, from the same era:

    When I entered University, Bon Jovi's Livin' on a Prayer, U2's With or Without You and New Order's Bizarre Love Triangle were the big hits on campus.

    When I left University, Green Day's Basket Case, The Offspring's Come Out and Play and Nine Inch Nails' Closer were the big hits on campus.
