Made up of Phil Creswick, Mark Gillespie and Jason John, the English boy band Big Fun has been part of the famous Stock Aitken Waterman production stable since 1988, along with Jason Donovan and Kylie Minogue. Their first and only album, A Pocketful of Dreams, was released in 1990, and soon reached the Top 10 of the UK charts, with the hits "Handful Of Promises" can't Shake The Feeling " and above all "Blame It On The Boogie", which the Jackson brothers had already made a hit in 1978. The video for this track would serve as a model for Noir Désir's overtly parodic video for "L'Homme pressé", many years later. In any case, it was this track that gave the band immediate international popularity, even though it wasn't intended to be their first single, a role originally assigned to "I Feel the Earth Move". They released a final track in 1994, "Stomp!", under the name Big Fun II, when Jason John had just left the trio. But they never enjoyed the same success again, and the Big Fun adventure evaporated before the decade was even half over.
