"Ain't We Got Fun" is a popular foxtrot published in 1921 with music by Richard A. Whiting, lyrics by Raymond B. Egan and Gus Kahn. It was first performed in 1920 in the Fanchon and Marco revue Satires of 1920, then moved into vaudeville and recordings. "Ain't We Got Fun?" and its jaunty response to poverty and its promise of fun ("Every morning / Every evening," and "In the meantime, / In between time") have become symbolic of the Roaring Twenties, and it appears in some of the major literature of the decade, including The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald and in Dorothy Parker's award-winning short story of 1929, "Big Blonde."

  • Ain't We Got Fun? est une chanson populaire, publiée en 1921, sur un air de foxtrot composé par Richard A. Whiting et écrite par et Gus Kahn. Elle est chantée pour la première fois en 1920 dans la revue de Fanchon and Marco, puis reprise ensuite par plusieurs vaudevilles et enregistrée par de nombreux chanteurs. Elle est le symbole de ce que les Américains nomment les Roaring Twenties (que nous nommons les années folles). En tant que telle, on la retrouve dans la littérature marquante de l'époque comme dans Gatsby le Magnifique (The Great Gatsby) de F. Scott Fitzgerald ou dans la nouvelle, Big Blonde, de Dorothy Parker. Au cinéma, elle est chantée par Doris Day et Gordon MacRae dans By the Light of the Silvery Moon de David Butler en 1953. (fr)
