The song "Fun Thing" by 999 is about embracing one's individuality and not conforming to society's expectations or norms. The lyrics suggest that the subject of the song, referred to as "fun thing", is a playful and carefree person who is unafraid to live life on their own terms. The lines "Walk where you want to walk, choose what you want to choose, talk when you want to talk, do what you want to do" convey a message about the freedom to make one's own decisions.
The chorus encourages the fun thing to "cut loose" and "run wild"; the repetition of these phrases reinforces the idea of being unbridled and unrestrained. The line "over me, run wild over me" could be interpreted as a call to jump into the unknown and explore new experiences, with the subject choosing to let go of fear and inhibition. The song's use of repetition and simple, upbeat phrasing create a sense of joy and optimism, suggesting that living spontaneously and embracing individuality can bring a great deal of happiness.

I was 'round 20, used to listening by my earphones, and sometimes playing several times the same track. And "several" for this song meant my top score ever: 13 times in a row, it lasted 35 minutes!

Joan Burdette

I love the anti constipation ad before this, antidisestablishmentarianism and amphetamine must leave you in need of bran flakes. Anyway this is the best ever pop song ever written. An absolute Swiss watch of song. It goes without saying that 999 must be the most overlooked band in UK rock history.

I think I saw them four times at the concert hall in Toronto-early eighties-the best band at the time by far-pogo all night long
Scotchfisherman
remember it well my first 999 show- athletic spizz 80 wasnt it
Loud N'Fast Toronto
+Scotchfisherman Yea, those were great shows weren't they. The first one with Spizz Energy 80 was a corker. The entire place was moving which was possible due to The Concert's Hall's wooden floor. I remember the vocalist Nick Cash smiling broadly at what he saw.
