"Clare" is a song by British band Fairground Attraction, which was released on 16 January 1989 as the final single from their debut album The First of a Million Kisses. The song peaked in the UK Singles Chart at number 49. It was the last single released by the band before they split up.
A music video for the song exists filmed in New Orleans.[2]
On its release as a single, Steve Lamacq of New Musical Express considered "Clare" to be a "jazzier number" than "Perfect" and felt the song was released as a single "with good reason". He added, "It busks away and Eddi Reader's athletic vocals do an exotic dance with an eligible clarinet".[3]
