I have to say that the piano is probably the star of the song. The vocals are good, too, and the bass is up there, as well (holding it all together, basically).
For those wondering, the musicians are lead vocalist Roland Gift; backing vocalists George Chandler, Jimmy Chambers, and Jimmy Helms; guitarist-groovebox player-tambourinist Andy Cox; keyboardist-bassist-drum machine player David Steele; and piano soloist Jools Holland.
My school teacher used to play different songs at the end of the day, whoever guessed the artist and song title got to leave. This was one of them haha :)
Estoy por finalizar el 2022 y entrar al 2023 y siempre escuchando esta excelente canción con unos buenos acordes de piano, de guitarra y la voz de Roland Gift. Tremendo clásico.
The good thing in my life Has gone away, I don’t know why She’s gone away, I don’t know where Somewhere I can’t follow her The one good thing (hey hey hey 👋) didn’t stay too long (Woo who, who, who) My back was turned (hey hey hey 👋) and she was gone Good thing Where have you gone? (Doo doo doobie doo) my good thing You’ve been gone too long (good thing) (Doo, doo doobie doo) People say I should forget There’s plenty more, don’t get upset 😢 People say she’s doing fine Mutual friends I see sometime That’s not what (hey hey hey) I want to hear 👂 (Woo who, who, who) I want to hear 👂 (hey hey hey 👋) she wants me near Good thing Where have you gone? (Doo doo doobie doo) my good thing You’ve been gone too long (good thing) (Doo doo doobie doo good thing) Then one day she came back I was so happy that I didn’t act Morning came (hey hey hey 👋) into my room (Woo who who who) Caught me dreaming (hey hey hey 👋) like a fool Good thing My-my-my-my good thing (Doo doo doobie doo) my my my my my good thing Where have you gone (good thing)? (Doo doo doobie doo) my good thing Hey, hey my good thing (Doo doo doobie doo good thing) girl 👧 Where have you gone (good thing)? (Doo doo doobie doo good thing) it’s been so long Good God girl 👧 (Doo doo doobie doo good thing) good God girl 👧 Good God girl (good thing) (Doo doo doobie doo good thing) good God (Doo doo doobie doo good thing) good God Good God
That scene was my favorite in Doomsday along with Spellbound. Those songs captured the unpredictability of the gathering. “The winds of change are blowin’ a hurricane! Give ‘‘em hell!”-Sol
I've awakened to this song for 3 years. It energized me. It's rather humorous though, when they use their motor scooters, Vespas or whatever to take over London 's streets. When American's take over a town, only a Harley will do.
Lol for so long I thought this was the song that Kevin’s uncle in Home Alone 2 was singing in the shower when Kevin was trying to get his recorder. “Get outta here you noisy little twerp or I’m gonna slap you silly!”
The piano in this song just ties everything together perfectly.
Jools Holland solo, one of the best in the biz.
Music to my ears
I have to say that the piano is probably the star of the song. The vocals are good, too, and the bass is up there, as well (holding it all together, basically).
That piano is a "foretaste" of the richness in the music you get.
Loved this song in 1990 and still love it in 2023.

This song NEVER gets old!💕🤸♂️
And that is a good thing. Quite a good thing, indeed.
My school teacher used to play different songs at the end of the day, whoever guessed the artist and song title got to leave. This was one of them haha :)
Man! I wish my former teachers were like that!
Good song - got that Motown sound to it
For sure, I hear Barrett Strong in the chorus and Marvin Gaye in the verses
Awesome song...today's music will never compare
They just make them like they use to.
Fine Young Cannibals
"Good Thing"/"She Drives Me Crazy"
Both #1, 1989.
Good Song, Fellas!
After ten years I finally found this song!!!
That's happened to me before.
Me to last i listen to this song was on america bandstand.the 80s.
10 here as well! Every day in CVS
Me too, it had been killing me for over 2 years now.
Google was running real slow.
Me and my cousins had a dance to this back in the day. Good times
Is this anyone else's favourite "Cannibals" song? :)
Oh yes yes
That piano solo makes it impossible not to dance
Hard to pick a favorite.
This gives me happy days vibes Fonzie ready to rumble in that era 60s grease switch blades n bats
It's definitely mine. Ever since I first saw Barry Levinson's "Tin Men," back in 1987.
Good Thing.Nice and Sweety Song.Merci.Thanks.🌹💙🏵️🦋April 2023*
This song was used in a Chevrolet commercial in Europe from (2005 - 2009)
Some serious piano playing going on here 🎹👍💯
You know what this song reminds me of?
It reminds me of driving on the very famous hill roads in San Francisco. 🌟
Good Thing technically reminds me of taking a ride in a classic 60s C2 Corvette. 😎
I had this cassette and I wore it out lol especially this song who else is listening in 2020?!
How about 2024😂😂
Very good ...get you out of a bad mood song
Still dancing at 72!!!

You absolute legend, me and my son have a little joke, when this song is on I come into the room doing Sol's dance 😂
@@spannerintheworks1190 Amazing!!

Oh man

The piano player rocks......
Good Thing by Fine Young Cannibals is in my top ten of 80's songs. I love Roland Gift on Highlander The Television Series as well.
Great tune my era of superb music

The good thing in my life
Has gone away, I don’t know why
She’s gone away, I don’t know where
Somewhere I can’t follow her
The one good thing (hey hey hey 👋) didn’t stay too long
(Woo who, who, who)
My back was turned (hey hey hey 👋) and she was gone
Good thing
Where have you gone?
(Doo doo doobie doo) my good thing
You’ve been gone too long (good thing)
(Doo, doo doobie doo)
People say I should forget
There’s plenty more, don’t get upset 😢
People say she’s doing fine
Mutual friends I see sometime
That’s not what (hey hey hey) I want to hear 👂
(Woo who, who, who)
I want to hear 👂 (hey hey hey 👋) she wants me near
Good thing
Where have you gone?
(Doo doo doobie doo) my good thing
You’ve been gone too long (good thing)
(Doo doo doobie doo good thing)
Then one day she came back
I was so happy that I didn’t act
Morning came (hey hey hey 👋) into my room
(Woo who who who)
Caught me dreaming (hey hey hey 👋) like a fool
Good thing
My-my-my-my good thing
(Doo doo doobie doo) my my my my my good thing
Where have you gone (good thing)?
(Doo doo doobie doo) my good thing
Hey, hey my good thing
(Doo doo doobie doo good thing) girl 👧
Where have you gone (good thing)?
(Doo doo doobie doo good thing) it’s been so long
Good God girl 👧
(Doo doo doobie doo good thing) good God girl 👧
Good God girl (good thing)
(Doo doo doobie doo good thing) good God
(Doo doo doobie doo good thing) good God
Good God
🙌🙌🙌

Roland Gift was also one of the best Highlander villains👍🍻🙏
Top 10 of my favorite songs! 2020 ya'll!
Love that banjo riff.
Roland Gift is one of U.K's most underrated Black singers.
Great jam from fine young cannibals she drives me crazy and good thing 1989
Piano playing rocks.
#1 hit follow up to "She Drives Me Crazy." And then FYC disappeared.
I work at home depot and I hear this song sometimes.
Finally a good song
excellent piano solo.

The song that saved the band from 'on-hit wonderdom'
Much better song than "She Drives Me Crazy".
I've always thought the same thing!
Way, way better, and doesn't get as much airplay sadly.
Totally agree
2 completely different songs . Not really worth a comparison
