The Fun Boy were three were a band comprising of Terry Hall from ‘The Specials’ Lynval Golding and Neville Staple who had a number of hits in the early 80s including this masterpiece.
I have this song on my ipod and it is one that I listen to a lot! I love the sound of the proper telephone ringing and the rhythm of this song as well as the concept that it must be fun to be popular and constantly partying whilst enjoying the respect and admiration of one’s peers! The song obviously pre dates the rise of the mobile phone where a person is virtually on call 24/7 and reminds me of a time when you actually had to be at home in order to receive a phone call or an invitation to a party etc.
There’s not much more to say about this song other than…enjoy it…
