Who would have thought that the word "fun" would someday be used as a band name. The first time I heard of the band Fun. I wasn't quite sure they had worded the announcement right. Fun? That's not a name for a band, it's one syllable, what does that even mean? What does it even stand for? How can an indie band have that as its name? But sure enough it is the name, and I watched an interview where the interviewer did ask how the name came into place. The lead singer Nate Reuss said that they were all just sitting around and the word fun came up and they couldn't come up with anything else at the time so it just stuck.
Fun is known for its huge hit single, "We Are Young" featuring Janelle Monae. This song hit the charts, and topped the Billboard Hot 100. Honestly, this is the only song I have ever heard from the band, I only just heard of them a couple weeks ago, which I feel is behind everyone else. However after listening to that one song on the radio and downloading it on Itunes I am very interested in listening to more of their music.
Here is the video for their hit "We Are Young"
I can honestly say that I have never heard of this band before but that song is really catchy! I too think that the name "Fun" is a little crazy for a band name. I feel like it would be easily passed over when people see it while many other people would not know what it even is! Do you know if any of their other songs are good or have done well?
