    This jingle has been stuck in my head since the late 1970s.
    Every once in awhile, I will just start humming it or singing it.
    It goes on a continuous loop and I have no control over when it stops or starts.

    Perfection was one of my all-time favorite games. The 1978 version was a nice upgrade from the original 1974 version. It was really easy to play, so I started playing the harder Superfection, with the puzzle pieces. 1970s toys were fantastic.

Me at school-"I got "Perfection" for Christmas". Kid at school-"Let's play with it after school", Me- "Uh, no it's at my Grandma's house far away, i keep it there so when I go over I can play with it!"

    In this newer model, the whole top panel pushes down and pops up. An earlier model from the early 1970's had actual shaped holes in the top you placed the pieces in, and when the time was up, an internal floor would pop up and knock all the pieces out of the holes.

    I didn't have this game, but did have its big brother Superfection, where you have to put puzzle pieces together to form cubes before placing them on the board. Very difficult to beat because some pieces look like they fit together but don't, and when they pop up they make such a loud clatter it gets you every time!

      That's how you cheat, you hide a few pieces when it's not your turn, so they frantically search for the right piece and run out of time. When it's your turn, the piece discretely slips out of your sleeve or you hide a few pieces under the box and than find the pieces when it's your turn and they can't accuse you of cheating, make sure you call no do over's before you start though, so they can't go again!
