Fairground Attraction - Perfect

Anybody who was born in the seventies and grew up near a radio or TV in the eighties are sure to remember Fairground Attraction with their number one hit debut single "Perfect". The video clip was quite memorable in that it showed the band in their very student like outfits playing along with the track while sailing down a canal on a little barge. The clip was also interspersed with little snippets of urban U.K. life in the eighties. The video clip makes a great time capsule of that not so distant time and place.
