The Fun Boy Three is the debut album by The Fun Boy Three, a band consisting of three ex-members of the UK ska band The Specials: Terry Hall, Neville Staple and Lynval Golding. It was released in 1982 and was re-released in 1999 as Fame. Several songs on the album feature backing vocals by the female pop trio Bananarama. Three singles were released from the album: "The Lunatics (Have Taken Over The Asylum)", "T'ain't What You Do (It's the Way That You Do It)", and a remix (with overdubbed horns) of "The Telephone Always Rings".
All songs by Golding/Hall/Staple except where noted.
