Good life - Inner city

'Good Life' is a 1988 single by the US techno group Inner City, featuring vocals by Paris Grey. It was their second single and biggest hit, peaking at number 4 in the UK singles chart. In 1999, the song was rerecorded and remixed by producer Tommy Onyx and a Spanish language version was also released. The 1999 version hit number 10.

The track stuck in my mind for its utter simplicity. Lyrically the song doesn't have much more to say than 'Good life good life good life good life in the good life / Good life'. And ridicule is sometimes a reason to want to have something.
