	THE FARMYARD CONNECTION The Unofficial Fun Boy Three Fan Page (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-09)
		The Specials (originally known as The Coventry Automatics, then later named The Special AKA) were the first band of the 2-Tone era in the late 70's and early 80's in Britain and remain THE best band to have emerged from the 2-Tone era of ska.
		Suddenly, the Fun Boy Three, and especially Bananarama, were flung into the limelight.
		The remainder of 1982 saw The Fun Boy Three touring Britain, as well as the release of another non-album single, a cover of George Gershwin's classic, "Summertime".

	CMT.com : Fun Boy Three : Biography
		Where the Specials were a ska-revival band, the Fun Boy Three was a new wave pop group with distinctly weird, skeletal, and experimental overtones.
		The Fun Boy Three finally released their eponymous debut in the spring of 1982.
		By the summer of 1983, the Fun Boy Three were peaking in popularity and Hall disbanded the group.

	TrouserPress.com :: Fun Boy Three
		On The Fun Boy Three, the trio's imaginative use of various conventional and exotic instruments — though the emphasis is on vocals and percussion — is countered by a pervasively dark, pessimistic feel, more so on the US edition, which places most of the brooding stuff on Side Two.
		The music mixes its metaphors, from stripped-down Fun Boys rock to samba, folk and jazzy '60s RandB; Hall's sharp tongue and the band's intelligent creativity make each track different.
		While several songs recall the Fun Boys' old partnership with Bananarama (minus the rhythmic intensity), there are fewer echoes of Hall's subsequent adventures: the faint accents here are Dixieland, swing and Latin.

	RollingStone.com: Waiting : Fun Boy Three : Review
		Their idea of fun, for example, is "The Tunnel of Love," a cynical tale about a straitjacketed marriage and a shattering divorce that's spitefully set to a corny tango laced with mournful cello.
		And in "Well Fancy That," Hall undercuts the song's carefree title and waltzlike lilt with a brutal indictment of a homosexual child molester, which he sings in a harsh, spitting vocal.
		Accepting Fun Boy Three's dim view of the world on Waiting, however, is the hard part.

	Trafford Publishing: How NOT to Make It in the Pop World (diary of an almost has-been)
		The first Swinging Laurels WEA release, Rodeo, hit the streets in September 1982 and featured the distinctive percussive influence of Scritti Politti drummer Tom, but despite saturation Radio One airplay, was restricted to lower reaches of the national chart.
		Culture Club producer Steve Levine lent his expertise to the second single Lonely Boy which originally featured a fine vocal contribution by Boy George but due to contractual objections by his record label Virgin Records was eventually released minus his efforts.
		In November 2002 a re-run of an earlier Top of the Pops appearance with the Fun Boy Three was shown on BBC2 s Top of the Pops 2.

		The fifteen tracks on The Very Best Of The Specials and Fun Boy Three on Cherry Red are all new recordings featuring lead vocals from roadie-turned-band-member, Neville Staples.
		The Fun Boy Three's debut single, the haunting The Lunatics Have Taken Over The Asylum effectively established Fun Boy Three as both original and innovative commentators whose work would compare favorably with their mother group, the Specials.
		Both bands have their finest tunes reworked on this new release including contributions from Jane Wiedlin of The Go-Go's and remixes of "Ghost Town" and "Our Lips Are Sealed".

		The oddly addictive track makes it's way to the U.K. Top 20.
		Three months later they would score their first of 3 U.K. Top 10 hits with "It Ain't What You Do (It's The Way That You Do It)" a collaboration with an unknown vocal act Bananarama.
		They also score hits with George Gershwin's "Summertime", "The Tunnel Of Love", and a collaboration with Jane Wiedlin that would make hits for both bands - "Our Lips Are Sealed." By the end of 1983, Hall again got bored with the direction the band was heading in and left to form The Colourfield.
