Good Thing - Fine Young Cannibals

[@peterthomas6486]

Always lifts me, no matter where I am

[@Maxharddrive64]

The piano solo in this is perfect. One of those tunes that gets better as the years go by.

[@SpaceCattttt]

You'd never know this song was 30 years old just by listening to it. There's nothing 80's about it. It's timeless.

[@andyhoops.6156]

This band were hugely underrated,they threw out some brilliant tunes and made the 'cut' in America which is never easy. Timeless songs that will always make your foot tap. Thankyou guys.

[@Barry-tn9om]

I am still listening

[@Noor-pe4je]

I was 52 this year still listening to his group since their first debut👍💕

[@bza069]

they were HUGE, not underrated in the least...

[@thepretenda]

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE HEARD THIS SONG FOR 25 YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW!!!! Listening to it again, I feel excited, upbeat, happy of my old memories and friends!!!

[@peterthomas6486]

Can relate, many good memories from times gone by and I am from Oz

[@j5nephews558]

@@peterthomas6486 me too, I forgot about all these great songs

[@Purple1984Rain]

I just love the piano solo during the bridge. It has that classic boogie-woogie jazz feel to it.

[@pickzkickz]

+Shane Anthony Theres a tutorial on here! lol

[@GSDG55SGG]

+Shane Anthony "Time count" my friend this the name of this bridge in 80's ...no exist now in music

[@pcwillis]

the piano solo in the 'bridge' was played in a cameo by Jools Holland...

[@davidtrayhorn426]

I bought this as a 10" maxi single when it was released. It featured a "double groove" and depending upon where you dropped the needle you would either get the piano solo or a sax solo. Brilliant!

[@mikeevans5810]

same here, the keyboard work throughout the song keeps bringing me back

[@paulselkirk2345]

Like the scooters in this one as well as the song 🤩😊😎🤗

[@dtcurrie1]

This is still as fresh and crisp as it was when it was brought out in the 1980's.

[@tauras665]

No...not really.....

[@catface3473]

David..wow...i never heard it in 80.s....thought it was just a few years ago...where was i...?...sucks getting old.

[@pamelakappotis8575]

Hanging by the pool at my apartment complex in the 80's with my boom box hearing this song brings back so many memories. I loved it. So glad I grew up back then. Music was by far the best. Drive in's, bon fire's, keg parties. Those were the times my friends.

[@derekkess2585]

I sure do miss the 70s and 80s. The music today is not even the same. Sometimes I wish I could find a time machine and go back in time. Life was much easier and everyone enjoyed life! Is this your favorite song ?

[@marieoctaviadeze7690]

FINE YOUNG CANNIBALS was the Sound Track of one the most exciting times of my life. I love them and I am still having an EXCITING TIME. They are defo one of the best bands in the last 30 years,. Love 'em!!!

[@mtblifeb2ng]

Agree 😁🤘

[@MarkMilotay]

Me too

[@laurametheny1008]

Me t!😄🤘

[@totorokawasaki9818]

Amazing, beautifull, wonderfull.......love this!!!!

[@michaelglickman1300]

For those wondering, the musicians are lead vocalist Roland Gift; background vocalists George Chandler, Jimmy Chambers, and Jimmy Helms; guitarist-tambourine player-beatboxer Andy Cox; piano soloist Jools Holland; and keyboardist-bassist-drum programmer David Steele.

[@rossdickens]

Thanks!

[@petkobosev671]

and they found the band in Brum

[@kevrockism]

Michael Glickman didn't know that was Jools,nice one 👍

[@jorymil]

Didn't know that was Jools, either.

[@aegisgfx]

Im wondering why they totally disappeared right after this huge hit?

[@glenfoulkes4683]

Just amazing!!! Takes me back to a time when you could be who you wanted to be. FYC helped in so many ways. Forever grateful for the music. Cheers Glen

[@ericparker1346]

Nice production. Excellent keyboard player who ever it is!!

[@AnyTime2055]

2023 still loving this song and the😊 lead singer vocals ❤

[@lennarthoogerheide3473]

October 2024 😁

[@chebra36]

Love this song. Back in my day and still relevant

[@galericulus9736]

Excellent record. Loved it and bought it when it came out. Still love it now. I particularly like the piano bridge.

[@elizabethmogg2518]

known it was good from getgo...beautiful. keys. sad he left...

[@kameshimayama2195]

Galericulus totally. These guys knew how to write a rock song.

[@likeabossk6881]

Summer of 1989...one of my best. Memories of visiting my brother in Ogden, Utah. Going to Lagoon Amusement Park, 49th Street Galleria, Salt Lake City. Watching UHF, Major League and Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventures in the theaters and Fine Young Cannibals were at the top of the charts. Being 15 years old, damn that was a great summer.

[@lilpontoon6022]

Like A Bossk I can't believe you mentioned 'UHF. So great. I saw that masterpiece in the movies. I was 9.

[@likeabossk6881]

Me too. I was 15 when it came out at the movies. The summer of '89 has got to be one of the biggest, if not the biggest, summer of blockbuster movies in history. And UHF was among the greats!

[@advancedtv1110]

Thank you Great Britain for the good music all along

[@dawghauscrew3815]

It was the French that crossed that desert first. What happened to all that Lawrence of Arabia stuff for the UK?

[@juliestrauss5988]

Brits were first to s pole 🤓

[@advancedtv1110]

+Julie Strauss no Julie the Norwegian Admundsen was the first in south pole. Brits were 2nd with Scott he died on his back to his base 20 km from it. :) thank you :)

[@jacobparker9495]

and this has to do with music because..?

[@juliestrauss5988]

Grabos Omar Shackleton was #2?

[@pritter21]

I listened to these Fine Young Cannibals growing up. AWESOME.

[@lh1690]

Thanks for making the 1980s so great.

[@pvtrichter8816]

the best VESPA ad ever !!

[@r4h4al]

And 90s

[@raceching]

Class band with a great lead singer. They had a lot of style, Roland, the bizzo!

[@belenperez2820]

Anthony Mead

[@solarpurplestarlight]

Great song! My first vehicle was a brand new '79' Vespa P200E. I loved this bike, so much. One day, nearly a decade later, or so, this song came out and I thought it was great and even better, when I saw the video. I kept my Vespa until I moved to Florida, back in 1997 and decided this state is not motorcycle friendly, so I sold her to a guy, who refurbished my baby, back to showroom new and as far as I know, he still has her. My Vespa was MY 'Good Thing'! =)

[@drskelly2562]

Can almost smell the 2stroke just watching the video..wonderful video..still got a lammie

[@CarlosHernandez-bu2lk]

I like this song a lot, the piano solo is brilliant.

[@susanb7318]

Love the Scooters. Love the song......Good Thing........(9 Dec 2017) - Western Australia.

[@edoalfa1]

This song is soo amazing!! I love the sound and the style it has!!

[@eric_martindale1711]

My goodness, I haven't heard this song in ages. Fine Young Cannibals were my childhood!

[@trethtower]

First time I heard this song was in the movie Tin Men with Danny Da Vito and Richard Dreyfus. Fell in love with it and finally bought the vinyl ``The Raw and the Cooked`` when Cannibals were in their prime in the 90`s. Great tune!

[@shawnm2837]

2017 and I still love this song as much as I did when it first came out. this is the type of music I miss

[@JosepRomero]

​ I was very lucky to see them live at Pier 84 in NY, back in the late 80s. One of my favorite bands, a great live show in a magnificent location

[@susanberg45]

The beginning of this song reminds me of classic Motown from the early - mid 1960s. Upbeat and exciting!

[@emmadianaswan146]

Love this song so much!! Love the beat... love how catchy it is!! Love it!💖👍💙

[@johnbegayjr]

I will always remember this song since it is one of the few songs that I can safely say crossed the generations in its musical appeal to my parents. One day on the way to the dentist in 1989, this song came up on the car radio and my Mom turned it up loud and said it was a really good song! Every time it came on the radio for the next year or so, she'd blast it and get excited about the song! I guess it was one of the few times we agreed musically! :-) #FYCGOODTHING

[@Fortheemperor382]

My God, not listened to this since around the time it came out, what a banger

[@el3v1n99]

Where is music like this today? it's sad we have to go backwards in order to hear good music.... but worth it (SMILE)

[@750triton]

+Tommy Smith (Smurfeo) It was the same back then too. We had to wait for it come on the radio after enduring acres of crap. We have the luxury of cherry picking a huge back catalogue. But all music is great, one mans poison is another mans food ;)

[@el3v1n99]

750triton Yeah true, I guess in the future people will look to this time and say that's great music ($ort of like we're doing now).

[@sandsoftime1954]

+Tommy Smith (Smurfeo) When did music go bad ? around 2000 ,maybe. If you consider that all the kids now between age 10- 20, that this is all they've ever known . I think it's crap, you think it's crap, to them this is their greatest music ever. Life kinda funny like that !

[@el3v1n99]

Renaud Villacis No you are right; music back then had soul, passion n they were taking time to give you something that you enjoyed... Today it's not about the people, but how many records they can sell.

[@gen-xkid5470]

you noticed it to...

[@vainnq]

GREAT VOICE ,GREAT SONG,GREAT DANCING

[@franciscaaliaga6354]

Such a great and iconic song...timeless!! When music was still pure, great, fun and with soul, very proud to have grown up in the 80’s and 90’s when the best pop artist and music was created (no offence to the few good talented singers we still have today though, just my humble opinion 😉) hope the younger generation may appreciate music without auto-tune which makes everything so commercial and less genuine 😚😎have a lovely day 🤗stay safe 🙌🏽

[@galericulus9736]

Great song, beautifully sung and played.

[@KIM-das-Schweinchenschlau-UnoO]

this song is a damn good thing

[@Soul_M.A.1303]

KIM das Schweinchen schlau Un o.O nice name^^ ;)

[@strongqawii510]

My Dad used to knock this back then. Got me bobbin my head here in 2024 with my daughter of 9 years old! Classic!

[@moonraker30]

This was one of my favorite songs by this group, LOVED the way he was rocking the mike, made me wanna sing too, lol

[@TJO57]

Excellent tune from the recesses of my mind, thanks.

[@eugestrella]

What a great song! I wish I could stop playing it in my head over and over again...

[@peterthomas3679]

[@dilli.vision]

Good Thing that Danny still remembers these amazing guys! ( GGs )

[@michelleromans2306]

Love this!!! It was played at the beginning of the Rush Limbaugh show, back in the early nineties. Always made me want to dance !!!

[@jcbairmaster73]

Top tune,love the piano,never heard better than the original,love the footage of the scooterboys and girls,goes really well together.

[@copywritergena1225]

My favorite FYC song. Still holds up well. That bridge to the chorus is amazing.

[@Schmoople]

I love the vocals, the beat....

[@shutterbug_713]

D Thomas, U said the beat......the Beat was a band Andy Cox and David Steele in this video originally were from. Here in America they were called the English Beat, since here in the USA, there was already a band called The Beat.

[@SeeDaRipper...]

John is bang on....during the 80's if you were a SKA follower you would know this...

[@NicoPsychobilly]

Maybe D Thomas knows..........

[@ianjones8953]

Cracking tune takes me back wish they did more tunes again

[@dallyspitti9908]

[@busterkeatonsbriefs]

"I love this song, I had no idea that the Fine Young Cannibals sang this" - my reaction to every new FYC song I hear.

Love the video even more than the song. reminds me on the scooterboy days cutdowns and skeletons...

[@thischarmingman1123]

That SCOOTERBOYS! They're all looked sharp

[@xennial80sxberner]

I fucking love the bluesy pop sound of this song! It's kind of vintage 60s R&B sounding

[@matijakukec4731]

Such awesome band

[@eclecticmusic123]

everything about it is just wonderful. an gee i love the guitarist duo .. so cool.

[@abc64pan]

SCOOTERS?!!! NO BIKES?!!!! DAMN BRITISH AUSTERITY! But seriously, or half seriously, I really love this song. I would play it over and over again. Very catchy with an old school theme made all the more nostalgic with black and white.

[@TheSapphire98]

+abc64pan YUP

[@jekblom123]

+abc64pan shutup scooters are awesome.

[@abc64pan]

+jekblom123 I agree, scooters are awesome...for girls. HAHAHA, just kidding, I wouldn't mind riding one myself.

[@Razer5542]

There were several bikes in it though... Besides bikes were to expensive during the time they made this song.

[@finkley777]

There mostly Scooterists in the video.....Allot of Mods became Scooterists due to mods being purists but scooterists enjoyed chopping and customising the scooters in extreme ways...also allot of people who loved the scooters but didnt like the mod scene became scooterists too as no one gave a crap what music ya liked or what ya doid with your scooter... i was 1 of them... :)

[@Libertariandude]

A very interesting guy; he can sing this & have epic duels with the Highlander Adrian Paul!

[@djalmapedroso331]

[@Herminia489]

This song makes me happy!!!

[@georgemiller8370]

Thanks for showing video with original 4:3 aspect ratio. Very rare. This is how it was shown on MTV. Other channels on KZbin have changed the video to a 16:9 ratio, which is incorrect. THANK YOU!!

[@matthewridgway8374]

Saw FYC in a tiny club in Frankfurt touring with the Raw and the Cooked. Fantastic show, great memory.

[@ronroberts1281]

those guys are not on the charts anymore where have you gone! that's not a GOOD THING!

[@shutterbug_713]

Ron Roberts, 2 of 'em--Andy Cox and David Steele, originally were from The English Beat.

[@doomguy8324]

They were awesome musicians...in just about the last era of good music...

[@OwenArtStudios]

The FYC were featured in the movie "Tin Men" as Baltimore musicians that played in a club where the tin men (aluminum siding salesmen) hung out. Good movie, great band.

[@4bdemon666]

Loved it in the 80s... the film "doomsday" brought me back here
