Good Times Lyrics
This song is one of the definitive drug soaked, party anthems of the late '70's.
This song offers perfect theater-of-the-mind. A smoky nightclub with flashy clothes. Middle class kid's in their 20's spending their paychecks on rum and coke and, if it's a good week, going in with a couple friends on an eightball. Hitting the dance floor with loose women with no bras and tall, dark men with big hair.
Around the dance floor are all of the drug dealers and high rollers in high-back vinyl booths watching the action over the cigarette smoke and the din of noises coming off the crowded dance floor.
Great song.
Good Times is the symbolic cultural rejection of the Black"movement"in favor of the party materialistic lifestyle still prevalent today. "Lets put an end to this stress and srife,I want to live the sporting life"In other words,no more confronting white society,now we want what white society has and to hell with the Negroes at the bottom.
i just spit a cyber loogie in your face. jerk.
Riverman, that actually is pretty racist. And a pretty stupid thing to say, it doesn't make sense.
This song has a strong will to be THE optimistic anthem. CARPE DIEM. They Rodgers and Edwards knew they held a big one between hands, and wouldn't lose the chance of exporting a positive and eternal message of: let yourself LIVE. Drop the attitude and bad moods. This song is full of good advises, that your old man could give you anytime:
"Leave your cares behind Happy days are here again The time is right for makin' friends Let's get together Live the sporting life Time marches on, just can't wait The clock keeps turning, why hesitate Want the best Don't be a drag, participate
Can't see other meaning to this gorgeous megasong,
