Crow 's producer ( Bottrell ) discovered Cooper 's poetry book The Country of Here Below in a Pasadena, California, used bookstore. Crow adapted `` Fun '' into the lyrics for her song -- earning Cooper considerable royalties, and helping to promote his book, originally published in a run of only 500 copies in 1987, into multiple reprints. The opening spoken line, `` This ai n't no disco '', is a reference to the song `` Life During Wartime '' by Talking Heads. Reviews Greg Kot of the Chicago Tribune called the song `` a rewrite of Stealers Wheel 's ' Stuck in the Middle with You. ' '' Music video The video was directed by David Hogan, who also directed her debut video for `` Leaving Las Vegas ''. It features Crow and her band performing the song on the street, with notable characters flying through the air. The video was filmed in front of the Roxy Theatre at the corner of Franklin Street and North 1st Street in Clarksville, Tennessee. Two versions of the music video exist. The original video featured the character `` Billy '', mentioned in the song, played by actor Gregory Sporleder. A second version of the video was released with the character 's appearances edited out. The edited version appears on Crow 's `` Greatest Hits '' music video DVD. In 2009, an additional music video was released, featured on the 2009 re-release of `` Tuesday Night Music Club ''.
