Fringe Benefits (band)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fringe benefits was a Pakistani band, one hit wonder, of the mid-90s. They came out with the song "Tanhai" (loneliness) which became a super hit. The song had an Ace of Base feel to it and featured two members. The band does not exist anymore.

[edit] Video

The video featured a story about a guy who has been left alone at home after his father goes to work. He then calls over his girlfriend and prepares food for her. He also has what appears to be a ghost in the house, who is the vocalist, who is enjoying what is happening in the house. The video shows shots of his girlfriend getting ready and coming over and also a shot of both the members in a studio wearing sun glasses and dancing around.

The lonely guy is shown waiting for his girlfriend but she arrives exactly at the time his father comes back from work and he has to send her away by signaling from the balcony. His father and girlfriend never find out what is happening.

The video can be found on Youtube.

[edit] Trivia

The studio could be seen in the end of the video when the camera moves around a bit.
