The song has been described as "a sort of manifeseto of the group's optimism in its jaunty rhythms and celebration of the return of good time music to the radio."[2]

The Beau Brummels version


Rock group The Beau Brummels recorded a version of "Good Time Music" and released it as a single in 1965. It reached number 97 on the Billboard Hot 100[3]
and number 13 on the Canadian Singles Chart.[4]
It was the fifth and final single release by the band on the Autumn Records label. The B-side was "Sad Little Girl", a song written by guitarist Ron Elliott from the band's second album The Beau Brummels, Volume 2. "Sad Little Girl" was called "gorgeous" by music critic Bruce Eder,[5]
while author and journalist Richie Unterberger said the song might have been a better choice as the band's third single, following "Laugh, Laugh" and "Just a Little," than actual choice "You Tell Me Why."[6]
