Thanks That Was Fun

One of my favorite songs!

"Thanks that was fun" is a song that brilliantly captures the rollercoaster of emotions following the end of a "Friends-With-Benefits" relationship.

The setting for this song is him sitting alone in his apartment, painfully recalling the events leading up to the breakup and all of the thoughts/emotions he's experiencing.

The two agree to engage in a purely physical relationship where they can hook up with no emotions involved. He happily agrees to the terms with full intentions of honoring these terms. At first, it's fun, lustful and exciting - both of them get their needs met with no strings attached.

However, some time goes by and he starts to develop feelings for her. His emotions get the best of him and he eventually confesses his love to her. When she does not reciprocate, he makes an idle threat to leave her and end the relationship. She calls his bluff and ends it on the spot. (queue "...it shocked me when you walked me to the bus."

He's thoroughly crushed by the situation: in his mind, there was no way she didn't feel the same way. Thoughts such as, "How could this have happened?", "It's all her fault!", and "I'm not the one who should be getting hurt, here!" echo through his head as he rides the lonely bus back to his abode.

He looks around the lonely, empty apartment and sees a few of her things. In a fleeting, desperate attempt to ease his suffering, he toys with the idea of burning her stuff.

He continues to reflect over the argument they had leading up to the end: "made a deal not to feel", "don't forget, no regrets" and thinks to himself how stupid he was to think this would work out. Who doesn't love getting their heart broken, after all, right?

"Thanks, that was fun..." he thinks to himself, in a soft, sarcastic tone.

This song caused me to fall back in love with BNL. This song is very relatable. Most one night stands become more than that - - atleast for one of the individuals involved.

for me it's about those relationships that we all have now and then. Those ones that start out with the agreement "no strings attached" and almost never work out that way. We've all been there, nobody can say they haven't fallen in love with someone when they said they wouldn't, and worse part is they kept their part of the bargain. Disposable, replacable, that's what you've become at that point. And it hurts just as much as being dumped in a real relationship.

i have definetly been in this situation before.

this is the new song for the greatest hit CD. its about a relationship that is ended, but the guy wants to get back involved with her again

my friend chrissy got me hooked on this song. she's a big BNL fan and we went to one of their concerts... very interesting...

this song is about a couple after a break up. the guy wants the girl and so they have a no-strings-attached one night stand thing and he thinks that this will make her want him back ("I thought that you would be beggin' to be with me") but it turns out she's over him and he just loves her more.

yay for BNL!

"I hate it when you call Which isn't at all " the end of a relationship sucks. pride is so hard to keep. tryin to look like you dont care. bleh. it sucks.

One of the best break up songs ever. The lyrics are great, and the melody is hot! This is about continously going back for more pain, when you have clearly been dumped. The best line IMHO is "I hate it when you call, which isn't all.. I've spoken, though broken--here's a token of my love!"

he wanted to break up... but didn't expect her to actually want it to. as soon as she left, he changed his mind.

This song was rumored to be a song from BNL to the fans, as fans were worried that they were breaking up after this album.
