Fun Boy Three were a short-lived but successful English band which ran from 1981 to 1983 and was formed by singers Terry Hall, Neville Staple and Lynval Golding after they left The Specials.They dispensed with the darker, moody sound and demeanour which they and Jerry Dammers had crafted with great success in the ska revival of the late 1970s and went into a much brighter, poppier phase with this new band, though maintaining savagery and wit within the lyrics and Hall's wholly expressionless persona.
Together, they set about making music which covered a variety of genres. Their first single was titled 'The Lunatics (Have Taken Over The Asylym)' was a fun single with a serious message that showed the public the new direction the band was to follow.
The single made it to number 20 in the UK Singles chart.
