Big Fun (Inner City song)

"Big Fun" is a song by American electronic music group Inner City, released in August 1988 by 10 Records and Virgin as the first single from their debut album, Paradise (1989).

The song went to number-one on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart for one week, and was the first of five releases by the band to reach the top spot.

"[6] Another NME editor, John McCready said, "Kevin's production, the musical input of James Pennington and the smooth vocal stylings of Paris Grey are instinctive.

But beyond its obvious commercial impact, 'Big Fun' was also a milestone in the way it mixed a catchy lead vocal and synth hook with what was essentially a techno backing track.

"[9] British public service broadcaster BBC included the song in their ranking of "30 Tracks That Shaped Dance Music Over the Last 30 Years" in 2019.
