Fun. (ft. Janelle Monae) - We Are Young

by **Blondini** » Tue Dec 06, 2011 11:19 pm

This is a great song - covered in this week's Glee episode and one of their singles. Alternative pop - it pretty new - the Fun. album is out in February. Has a weird "audio stream"/ video featuring a nutty girl peeling an apple: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nq2ekIMMYXA

Janelle Monae is on it - barely.

Glad I checked out this thread before watching Glee.
The song is pretty good but I would've loved to hear more of Janelle.

I love this song. It's been on my personal chart for a couple of weeks now. Such a tune

It's doing even better in the US.
It's at #12 (Glee version is #1).

F*** the Glee version. This original is so sooo soooooo GOOOD!!

OMG!! I thought this was older song, so i didn't look it up. But wow i'm glad i looked at this, SO F'N GOOD!!

I'm in shock! *runs to look at their catalogue. They must be a new band!! THANK YOU!

I prefer the "girl peeling an apple" video! :lol:

Hope it gets some promotion properly in UK, now.

by **Mikerocha** » Sat Jan 28, 2012 1:33 am

^ Haha

I didn't know that video with the apple. I don't like the official video either, but I do like the song thought. It sounds like it could be a classic of this decade if promoted the right way.

by **cristy** » Sat Jan 28, 2012 12:06 pm

I'm amazed at how well this is holding up, I thought it would fall just like the Glee version but it's still top 40 on iTunes and gradually increasing on airplay.

This deserves to be huge.

by **Fan** » Sat Jan 28, 2012 1:25 pm

I'm obsessed with this now, such an amazing song! Really like the video aswell.
