"Good Time Boys" is a song by the rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers from their 1989 album Mother's Milk. The song was released along with a promotional music video to support the album although the video was rarely seen and the song was never released as a commercial single. The song plays as a tribute to the Los Angeles music scene the band was part of and as a tribute to some of their fellow Los Angles based bands and friends. Bands such as Fishbone, fIREHOSE, Thelonious Monster and X frontman, John Doe are mentioned throughout the song's lyrics. In the middle of the track, there are brief sound clips of Fishbone's "Bonin' in the Boneyard" (s. 2′30″), Thelonious Monster's "Try" (s. 0′46″[1]), and X's "White Girl" (s. 1′03″ or 1′06″[2]).
In the outro of the song, Anthony Kiedis continually repeats the phrase "Rockinfreakapotamus", which ultimately became the name of the band's fanclub. The phrase "Rockin' Freakopotamus" was at one point a working title for the album prior to John Frusciante and Chad Smith joining the band.
The song was played throughout the Mother's Milk tour however it hasn't been performed live since that tour.
