"Good Times" was a single released in Australia in December 1986. It was recorded by Australian rock acts Jimmy Barnes and INXS to promote the national Australia Made series of concerts that took place between Boxing Day 1986 and Australia Day 1987.
Originally performed by The Easybeats and written by George Young and Harry Vanda, this version reached No. 1 on the Australian chart and the following year featured in the Joel Schumacher film The Lost Boys, leading to chart positions in both the US (where it reached #47) and the UK, where it peaked at #16.
The song was performed on the Top 12 Results Show of the second season of Australian Idol in 2004. This version of the song was then released by the Top 10 finalists nearly 4 months after the live show. It was released as a 1 track CD single and reached a peak of #51 on the ARIA Singles charts.
