Blow Your Cool!, the Hoodoo Gurus' third album, handed over "Good Times" as its second single in July 1987, the follow-up to "What's My Scene?", and it's a Dave Faulkner song with a little help from some famous friends: the Bangles sing harmonies on it. Faulkner later recalled that Brad was off in Los Angeles overseeing those vocal sessions.
The two bands went back a way. The Gurus had toured with the Bangles the year before, promoting Mars Needs Guitars!, and watched "Manic Monday" go to No. 1 just as the dates began, which rather sank the idea of a co-headlining bill. Still, Faulkner counted that tour and its sequel two years later among the most fun they ever had on the road. At home in Australia, "Good Times" reached 36 on the charts.
