Music They album length version of Good Times theme

I don't know what it is about this song. GOT to be one of the greatest themes ever created. The music & of course the singers. It just moves you.
And you feel the thesis of what the show's about just from hearing the theme song.

Sometimes I get in a mood & just got to click the sitcomsonline.com links to the themes & I begin to wish that there were MORE verses to this thing.

It feels like it tells a larger story & we're only getting a piece of it in the opener & closer.

(piano)
BUN-BUN-BUN-BUNG BUNG BON-DON-DUN DUNG-DONUN-DUNG
~Mmmmmmmmmmmmm~
~Just lookin' out of the window~
~Watchin' the asphalt gloooow~
~Thinkin' how it ALLLL looks hand-me-dowwwwn~
~GOOD TIMES!~
~yeahee-yeahhh~
~GOOD TIMES!~

Didn't you feel like you just came in at the end of big verse when you heard that?
Like there was more to it & more words?

One of the best composed songs I've ever heard.
Don't you wish there was a longer-playing version of this song?

Dave Grusin did a HELL of job putting the music together on this.
