"Good Thing" is a song recorded by Fine Young Cannibals, the second single from their 1989 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 number 7 on the UK Singles Chart.
The song made its first appearance in Tin Men (1987). Fine Young Cannibals portrayed a nightclub band in the movie, performing this song and three others (including the single's b-side "Social Security"). The film is set in Baltimore in 1963, and the song's retro-soul style is consistent with that setting. The song appears in Doomsday (2008), starring Rhona Mitra, in an surreal scene involving the film's main antagonist.
Jools Holland played the piano on the track, noting that it was "one of the biggest selling records I've ever played on".
