"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. Musically, the song has a dark and depressed feeling with a light-hearted break just before the final verse, but the depressive and melancholic undertone regains power in the end.

The single reached number 20 on the UK Singles Chart, but failed to chart in the U.S.

In 1987 it was released as a single again, while it was the soundtrack to the movie "Die Katze" starring Götz George.
