Idiom question

[wondering....]

Hi!
What does the idiom "It's no party" mean?
Thanks!

[mykwyner]

It simply means, "It is not fun."
Also with the same meaning, "This is no picnic."

David Byrne of the Talking Heads wrote:

"This ain't no party. This ain't no disco. This ain't no foolin' around."

I think the name of the song is "Life During Wartime," but I could be mistaken.
