"Good Times" (aka "Gonna Have a Good Time") is a song by the Australian rock band the Easybeats, written by George Young and Harry Vanda. It was released in June 1968 on their album Vigil, and as a single in July 1968 through Parlophone. It features guest vocals by Steve Marriott of Small Faces, and piano by Nicky Hopkins. The original Easybeats recording reached No. 22 in Australia. When broadcast by BBC radio, it was reportedly heard by Paul McCartney on his car radio; McCartney apparently rang the station immediately to request a repeat playing.

The song has been covered by Australian and international artists; in 1987, a version by INXS, featuring Jimmy Barnes, was included on the soundtrack of the film The Lost Boys and was a top 50 Billboard Hot 100 hit in the United States. It was also interpolated by Meat Loaf on his 1995 song "Runnin' for the Red Light (I Got a Life)" from his album Welcome to the Neighbourhood.

"Good Times" was recorded and released in 1969 as "Gonna Have a Good Time Tonight" by the Clingers, a Utah band comprising four Mormon sisters. The song was produced by Kim Fowley for Columbia Records but failed to chart. The Clingers are regarded as the first all-female rock band that played their own instruments.
