    Story Behind the Song
    "A Little Fun" and "October Sun" (the song for which the debut CD is named, but which didn't make it onto the disc!) were recorded and mixed at Actiondale Recorders in Annandale, VA, over several late night sessions in October of '97, with the then-new line-up of the band. "A Little Fun" eventually came out on its own on the "Bam Balam Explosion Vol. V" USA Power Pop Compilation CD (B.B.R. 007), in Sept. '98 from Spanish label Bam Balam Records. The Washington Post called it "the most rocking tune of this strong selection of melodic pop, a collection absolutely worth searching out."

    Lyrics

    Let's have ourselves a little
    Let's have ourselves a little fun
    We're not under the gun
    We're not on the run, and we're feeling fine, so
    Drive on down the road, take it
    Take it as far as it will go
    Drive on into
    Into this night

    Breakdown inside, another
    Another roller coaster ride, well I
    Don't hold it against you
    Don't really resent you, it's just this thing that I
    Try hard to understand when I
    Feel less than a man, you've got to
    Breakdown into
    Into the light

    Well I feel my emotions go cold
    As I watch your devotion unfold

    Let's have ourselves a little
    Let's have ourselves a little fun
    We've got nothing to lose
    We've got no good use for feeling down, so
    Turn up the radio and we can
    Sing every song we know 'cause I know
    We get into
    Feeling alright

    Well I've got one good reason, if I
    Seem displeased with your
    Endless good time
    Well you took me for a real good ride
    So drive on down the road and by the
    Time that we are home
    Maybe I'll begin to
    Have a little fun
    Have a little fun
    Let's have ourselves a little fun
