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
