Good Shit is the tenth track on the album and runs 4:40. Lourdes Belart counts in Spanish from uno to quatro, and Singh sings about feeling good behind the wheel. Greg Neate says it was the album's first single, and that for the single release and the video shown on MTV Europe the title became Good Ships. Its cover showed an astronaut on a spacewalk.
A version with the chorus altered to "Good Stuff" appeared in a commercial for Target. In 1998 the band issued remixes of Good Shit and Candyman as vinyl-only singles. Trouser Press called it nearly as good as the opening pair, and Rolling Stone's David Fricke linked it with Brimful of Asha in a line about the smell of weed behind their rhythms.
