Good Thing
"Good Thing" is a song recorded by Fine Young Cannibals, the second single from their 1988 album The Raw & the Cooked. The song was their second U.S. number one, topping the Billboard Hot 100 on 8 July 1989. It also peaked at #7 on the UK singles chart. The song made its first appearance in the 1987 film Tin Men. Fine Young Cannibals portrayed a nightclub band in the movie, performing this song and three others. The film is set in Baltimore in 1963, and the song's retro-soul style is consistent with that setting.
