Synopsis

Edie Brickell performs "Good Times" in a loose, street-level setting filled with passing cars, neighborhood corners, and people simply going about their day. Rain on a car windshield and relaxed outdoor scenes give the video a hazy, lived-in atmosphere, while Brickell and her band perform amid the surrounding activity. Rather than following a conventional storyline, it captures the song's easygoing blend of romance, restlessness, and everyday pleasure.

Factoids & Trivia

  • "Good Times" was released in 1994 as the lead single from Brickell's solo debut album, "Picture Perfect Morning," after her work with Edie Brickell & New Bohemians.
  • The song was written by Brickell and produced by Paul Simon and Roy Halee. Its arrangement draws on doo-wop and early Motown-style pop, giving the relaxed performance a lightly retro character.
  • The single reached No. 60 on the Billboard Hot 100.
  • The video became especially familiar to computer users because it was included among the multimedia samples on Microsoft's Windows 95 Companion CD-ROM. It appeared alongside Weezer's "Buddy Holly" as one of the operating system's showcase music videos.
  • On some Windows 95 discs, the clip appeared as "Goodtime.avi." For many viewers, it was an unexpected introduction to Brickell's music and an early example of music video playback on a home computer.

Lyrics

You don't even have to try
It comes easy for you
The way you move is so appealing
It could make me cry
Go out driving with my friends
In Bobby's big old beat up car
I'm with a lot of people then
I wonder where you are

Good times, bad times, give me some of that
Good times, bad times, give me some of that
Good times, bad times
