The Undertones - My Perfect Cousin (Official HD Video)

One of the great pop singles of the early 80s with the kind of lines `he's got a fur-lined sheepskin jacket, my ma said it cost a packet', `he thinks that I'm a cabbage 'cos I hate University challenge' and the immortal `his mother bought him a synthesizer, got the Human League into advise her' that today's pop stars can only dream of writing. And the video is ace -- look out for the famous subbuteo scene -- what we all did for entertainment in those days. A number 9 hit in 1980 it would be number one for a year now.
