It's never a proper summer without a new single from Golden Richards on my playlist. Thankfully, Gil Golden and Billy Richards are here with their 2026 contribution. I think they were just waiting for the smoke to clear! "I Want to Be Like Jeff Goldblum" is in that Golden Richards '90s power pop alternative rock sweet spot — a perfect track for road trips to the beach, poolside lounging, outdoor barbeques, and whatever else you enjoy doing in the summer weather. In typical Golden Richards fashion, the song tells a story. It's about a guy who's experiencing a little slump with the ladies and thinking he could totally turn it around if he were more like Jeff Goldblum. The song was inspired by Gil Golden discovering, a number of years ago, that a bandmate of his had a huge crush on Jeff Goldblum — and then doing some internet sleuthing and finding out that she was hardly alone! I mean, come on: who wouldn't want to be like Jeff Goldblum? Even now in his 70s, that dude has swag! This song is a Gil Golden/Billy Richards co-write, and it totally cranks. It's very Fountains of Wayne, and I'm not mad at that at all. I dig the way the verse sounds super punchy while the chorus is more laidback. That's a summer vibe for sure! This was a great concept for a song, and it's executed with cleverness and humor. You can always count on Golden Richards to produce a banger. Now summertime can begin in earnest!
