Good Boys is track number 2 from the 2003 album "The Curse of Blondie" by Blondie. This was the only single to be released from the album. The song was written by Deborah Harry, and Better Than Ezra frontman Kevin Griffin, with Brian May of Queen also receiving a credit. It has a Pop/Disco sound. The song peaked at number 12 in the U.K. It was released as part of a 2 CD set and on vinyl. CD 1 featured live versions of "Maria" and "Rapture", plus the video for "Good Boys" directed by Jonas Åkerlund. CD 2 featured a remix by Giorgio Moroder. The 12-inch vinyl featured remixes by Giorgio Moroder, Return To New York and Scissor Sisters. The Australian single release coincided with the band's 2003 tour of the country, peaking at number 37 and becoming their first top 40 hit there as a group since 1982's Island of Lost Souls.

Credits and "Queen"

The song credits Brian May only because Debbie Harry wanted to use Queen's lyrics for the rap. Queen threatened to sue, as was explained by Harry and fellow Blondie member Chris Stein on a VH1 special. The song pays homage to Queen's "We Will Rock You" in the rapped lyrics: "You got me on your face / A big disgrace / Shakin' your feathers all over the place".

Although a second commercial release from "The Curse of Blondie" was planned, "Undone", it never materialized and was only issued as a promo single. Another track, "End to End", was included on the band's latest hits compilations '/'.
