"Good Times" was a single by iconic[2][3] Australian rock group Hoodoo Gurus. It was released on EMI on 13 July 1987; and was written by Dave Faulkner.[4] Backing vocals were supplied by touring mates The Bangles.[5] Its B-side was: "Hell for Leather (live)" and was also written by Faulkner.[4]

"Brad was off gallivanting in L.A. to supervise the recording of the Bangles harmonies on "Good Times" (nice work if you can get it!). We had toured with them the previous year promoting Mars Needs Guitars! and we watched then go to No. 1 with "Manic Monday" as the tour began. Oh well, so much for the co-headline. That tour and its sequel two years later were some of the most fun we ever had on the road." - Dave Faulkner.[6]
