Good Times

About Good Times

"Good Times" is a song recorded by Eric Burdon & the Animals and released on the 1967 album Winds of Change, with music and lyrics by Eric Burdon, John Weider, Vic Briggs, Danny McCulloch and Barry Jenkins. The lyrics tell the story of someone who regrets having wasted too much time doing useless things instead of aspiring to become someone successful. Musically, the song has a dark and depressed feeling with a light-hearted break just before the final verse. The song features a string quartet, which is heard in the second portion of the song. The single reached number 20 on the UK Singles Chart. It was the B-side to "San Franciscan Nights" in the U. S. The B-side "Ain't that So" was included as part of the soundtrack to the film Stranger in the House (1967). Every band member, except Burdon, appeared at the premiere. In 1987 it was released as a single again, while it was the soundtrack to the movie Die Katze starring Götz George. This version reached #53 in Germany. Ozzy Osbourne covered the song for his album Under Cover, 2005. more »

When I think of all the good times that I've wasted having good times
When I think of all the good time that 's been wasted having good times
When I was drinkin'
I should've been thinkin'
When I was fighting 
I could've done the right thing
All of that boozin' 
I was really losin' 
Good times
Good times

When I think of all the good time that's been wasted having good times
When I think of all the good time that's been wasted having good times
All of my lying 
I remember her crying 
My useless talkin'
I couldv'e been walkin'
Instead of complainin' 
I couldv'e been gainin' 
Good times

Yes, here we all are having a jolly good time
And everything is working out fine, ha ha ha ha ha

Useless talkin' 
All that walkin 
All of my sinnin'
I could've been winnin'
I have it too easy
And its a beginning of good times

Good times
I said good times 
Talking bout good times

The Animals

The Animals were an English band of the 1960s, formed in Newcastle upon Tyne during the early part of the decade. The band relocated to London on finding fame in 1964. The Animals were known for their gritty, bluesy sound and deep-voiced frontman Eric Burdon, as exemplified by their signature song and transatlantic No.1 hit single, "The House of the Rising Sun", as well as by hits such as "We Gotta Get out of This Place", "It's My Life", and "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood". The band balanced tough, rock-edged pop singles against rhythm and blues-oriented album material. They were known in the US as part of the British Invasion. more »
