Fun is the enjoyment of pleasure and, according to Johan Huizinga, "an absolutely primary category of life, familiar to everybody at a glance right down to the animal level."[1] Fun may be encountered in many human activities during work, social functions, recreation and play, and even seemingly mundane activities of daily living. Fun may often have little to no logical basis, and opinions on whether or not an activity is fun may differ. The distinction between enjoyment and fun is difficult to articulate but real,[2] fun being a more spontaneous, playful, or active event. The perception of time is shortened when one is "having fun".[3]
Etymology [link]
The original meaning of "fun" relates to a hoax or practical joke,[4] a meaning still retained in the phrase "to poke fun at".

Fun?
Fun? is the second album from the British rock band The Candyskins. It contains their hit single "Wembley". It is the band's last release on a major label, being dropped by Geffen following two years of inactivity after its release. The disagreement with the label led to the arrest of Nick and Mark Cope, the band's lead singer and rhythm guitarist, for spray painting 'No Fun' on the wall of their former employer.
Track list
All songs written and composed by Nick Burton and Nick Cope, except where noted.
Personnel
Reception
Dave Thompson wrote in his book Alternative Rock that the band with this release "emphasize the rock'n'pop with bigger sound, riddled with soaring leads, rougher riffs, [and] some genuinely meaty power chords". Tom Demalon of Allmusic says the "lyrics, mainly dealing with failed relationships, contrast the sweetness and lightweight feel of the music" and that the tracks highlight "the band's musical diversity".John M. Borack writes in Shake Some Action that album is "[h]ugely entertaining and vastly underrated".

For Fun
by: Bertine ZetlitzI will step up in your face
I will put you in your place
I'll say things you can't erase
And I'll do it all for fun
I will frame your phoney smile
Let you hang there for a while
Then I'll make you scream a mile
And I'll do it all for fun
I will make your eyes grow tired
I will suffocate your skin
Call your work and get you fired
When you play I'll let you win
Chorus:
And I'll do it all for fun
Yeah, I'll do it all for fun
Make you wish you had a gun
Yeah, I'll do it all for fun
I won't answer when you call
Overlook you, though you're tall
Almost catch you when you fall
And I'll do it all for fun
What is yours you'll never get
What you gave, you will regret
You will never win this bet
Cause I'll do it all for fun
I will make your soft hands tremble
I will make your ego burst
Anything you will resemble
I will always get there first
Chorusx2
You always understood my mind
I'll never leave you far behind
As long as you recognize
My footsteps
I'll let you sweep acroos my knees
Just like a gentle summerbreeze
As long as you
Recognize my footsteps
I will make your soft hands tremble
I will make your ego burst
Anything you will resemble
I will always get there first
