The Zombies have 3 of the greatest songs in the rock era. This one, "Time Of The Season", and " Tell Her No". Also, Santana had a fantastic remake of this song

[@vrvaughn]

The band Santana had a remake of the Classics IV song Spooky as well …

[@kestrelle5345]

Both well worth a listen!

[@hmichaelr1]

@@vrvaughn I was unable to find that on Spotify. I did, however, find another Classics IV title, Stormy, by Santana. Are you sure that they did Spooky?

[@MrVvulf]

The album those songs are from - "Odessey and Oracle" (they misspelled the title, not me) is one of the best of the late 60s. Ironically, the band had already broken up before it released and became successful in the US. Colin Blunstone's voice is magic.

[@davepb5798]

Also covered by the British punk band, UK Subs.

[@SG-js2qn]

This was very progressive for music back then. They played the Zombies on the radio for years after this; I remember it was still playing in the 70s and 80s.

[@EddieReischl]

A very underrated band. Excellent keyboard, bass, and drum tracks for 1964-65 period, and a little bit of eccentricity from the singer makes it even more interesting to listen to.

[@thomasperkins7318]

Well put. I loved them and was sorry that they didn't stay together. Totally unlike any other band of the time.

[@lbh002]

Songs of 1964 were so, SO amazing. She's Not There, Hard Day's Night, Can't Buy Me Love, House of the Rising Sun, My Guy, Pretty Woman, Walk on By, You Really Got Me, Do Wah Diddy Diddy, She Loves You, Time is on My Side, and many many more. I clearly remember listening to the Beatles Hard Day's Night on the AM radio...and I was just 4 years old. I would argue that 1964 may have been the best year in pop radio ever. And remember...I was just 4 years old.

[@shyphyre]

1964 is my birth year, and I had to reply. You have a great memory to recall listening to that music as a 4 y/o. It is interesting how music during th3 60's had changed at the point during the British invasion. I can also remember listening to music as a 4 y/o in 1968, another great year for music

[@MisterWondrous]

But songs of 1963 and years before were dull. Things changed in '64.

[@michelleplombe7019]

@@MisterWondrous Dull? If you are referring to the few years between the Day the Music Died and when the Brits brought it back to us, then yeah .. but the 50's through 1959 in the USA were insane .. so insane most of the songs aren't even played on Golden Oldies stations (the 50's charts were regional and the #1 hit in Texas was often never heard in NYC), not the crazy hillbilly, r&b or Rock n Roll. Dull?: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqvKpHyagsZrp6M

[@MisterWondrous]

@@michelleplombe7019 That's good to know because "Mr. Lonely" and all those "poor me" songs did not cut the mustard. No one much cares about cutting mustard these days. Weird.

[@michelleplombe7019]

@@MisterWondrous Precisely .. and good call on Mr. Lonely .. that is a perfect example of what the music labels did in trying to tame the original hillbilly rockers and swamp born African-Americans with house-groomed, easily managed, less offensive, silk voiced copy cats with watered down lyrics. You know, the kind that didn't do things like marry their 13 year old cousins. They even tamed Elvis himself when he got out of the Army .. Compare his SUN records with after Army RCA releases, not all of which passes muster or cuts the mustard. Now please pass the mustard.

[@Stupha_Kinpendous]

I think this is one of the coolest songs ever recorded.

[@s.mcpherson6354]

In audio dictionaries, this song is the sound that plays under the definition: 'groovy.'

Colin Blunstones amazing vocals, and Rod Argent on keyboards - masterpiece

[@easyrolling]

Just about the greatest off-beat British invasion group.. which is not a bad thing.. THEY WERE DIFFERENT.. love this band.. agreed

[@sjw5797]

"Time of The Season", another terrific song of theirs. The epitome of early sixties hip; you will love.

[@brettkenschaft4239]

They actually did that one already.

[@brettkenschaft4239]

@@laurabrevitz3944 She did....7 months ago 😁

[@RobertSmith-iw2kb]

Rob argent legend on keys.

[@tonybarruk2]

Certainly one of the greatest debut singles of all-time, by a group of teenagers from a little town outside London, and _nothing_ else sounded like this in 1964 - fantastic record!!

[@ZigbertD]

Keyboardist Rod Argent who wrote the song described the lyrics as being two different people speaking. The first, the guy who fell hard for a cool beautiful woman who deceived him and then ghosted him. Then he's asking around about her, if anyone knows where she is because he wants to apologize, thinking he did something to anger her. The second voice is the friend telling him not to bother, and anyway he doesn't know where she is and doesn't care, forget about it because she's not there (she wasn't being real with him in the first place).

[@1967PONTIACGTO]

this was a very sophisticated composition for a rock group in 1964... following a few months after the Beatles set off the "British Invasion" of rock groups, this song stood out as equal to the Beatles more sophisticated songs like "If I Fell"

[@Cedrus1952]

Such an iconic sound then...and now.

[@surlechapeau]

Brad & Lex, you'll love their "Tell Her No"!!

[@rickdeleon7386]

Well, SHE will, anyway . . .

[@Noelle0026]

The Zombies are amazing!! They are still touring now! Colin Blumstone’s voice was and is still amazing. The jazzy influence of Rod Argent’s keyboard work and bass work or Chris White is sublime.

[@alenfranjic3124]

Excellent, deep and accurate comprehension of everything ineffable that song conveys, from Lex as always...

[@donlee1534]

I totally agree! I don’t know if Lex has any type of music background training, but she seems to deeply understand and appreciate the complexities of music on a very visceral level - and enjoys it with infectious enthusiasm!

[@dracoargentum9783]

If you are still wondering about the gist of the song, my take on it is that it's a hypothetical about a guy that has come to the realization that his crush is really a shallow person ["she's not there"]; he can give loads of physical description of her, but that's all. The song itself is him relaying to everyone, telling them all what he's learned, warning them, but from the attitude of the defeated: he's not arguing the facts, just laying them out.

[@XercesandAlexander]

One of the most underrated bands, they were amazing.

[@andrewgibson395]

Rod Argent the keyboard player went on to form the band Argent who recorded his song God Gave Rock And Roll To You, the original and best version of the song long before Kiss covered it.

[@thomasstambaugh5181]

The bass and keys of this classic grabbed me as teenager when it first came out and hasn't let go since. I never paid much attention to the lyrics, I just love the totality of the music. It's funny how the camera so pointedly avoids the keyboard -- even during that killer break.

[@didierchapelot5671]

The song on which the Doors have created their musical style. Sad The Zombies didn't write more in this style. And once again a timeless reaction from Lex who has caught the meaning of the song.

[@jimtatro6550]

This is great song from the 60’s, it’s been in so many movies and has been covered many times

[@robbielux8353]

Zombies are very very underrated…they have some of the best music to come out of the 60s and still sounds very good today…it aged very well

[@williamhicks7736]

You should do a reaction to the song Starshine next….

[@stevenblock9712]

It's about - I loved her, she was deceitful, and she's gone. With this song, you are deep into early British invasion (1965) as you can tell by their appearance. Like every British group then, they were riding the Beatles' coattails. "Tell Her Know" was their follow-up single and they evolved later to do "Time of the Season". A few years later, Rod Argent of the group had a big hit with "Hold Your Head Up".

[@mickdarcy3063]

the sizzle analogy is great, especially for the drums

[@annother3350]

Yes, she nailed it again!

[@davidmazon7516]

I grew up around this song, every once in awhile it comes out on the radio, I just stop everything I'm doing, sit down, close my eyes and listen to it.

[@bobinfaith]

I agree! This is a great song and remember Santana's remake of She's Not There. I noticed from the 60s many people wore those one of a kind "batman prescription glasses." lol! Great REACTION, Lex! Brad analyzes and says, "what in the world are they talking about?" lol!

[@lightsideofthemoon13]

[@christophermorrison1986]

The vocalist Colin Blunstone did some excellent work with the Alan Parsons Project, particularly "the Eagle will Rise Again" and "Dancing on a High Wire"

[@dolfin9879]

Thanks to Wikipedia. The Zombies are an English rock band formed in the early 1960s in St Albans[13] and led by keyboardist and vocalist Rod Argent and vocalist Colin Blunstone. The group had a British and American hit in 1964 with "She's Not There". In the US, two further singles-"Tell Her No" in 1965 and "Time of the Season" in 1968-were also successful.[14] Their 1968 album Odessey and Oracle was ranked number 100 on Rolling Stone's 2012 list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time,[15] and number 243 on Rolling Stone's 2020 list.[16] The Zombies were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2019.[17]. Rod Argent and Colin Blunstone both went on to have very successful solo careers. In recent years they have successfully resurrected the zombies and still tour

[@timangiel]

I love the way Lex starts smiling, moving to the music and enjoying the song, and Brad is so straight faced and focused. Happens all the time. They are so opposite.

[@827dusty]

One of the best songs ever written. Many of the 60s and 70s classic Rock Bands (Beatles, Stones, The Who, etc.) have said they were greatly influenced by The Zombies. They are frequently referred to, as a Band that was way ahead of their time. Part of "The British Invasion" in the mid 60s.

[@rogerbarrett9920]

So many great songs in the 60's and of course the beginnings of many definitive bands and artists that went on to mega creativity - and to revolutionise the music industry.

[@thunderspike1892]

Rod Argent on Keyboards and Colin Blunstone on vocals. Argent later had his own band Argent with Russ Ballard on guitar and vocals. Argent had two big hits with Hold Your Head Up and God Gave Rock'n'Roll To You. The latter covered by Kiss in Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey. Russ Ballard are a great song writer and wrote songs like I Surrender and Since You Been Gone. Both covered by Rainbow. On The Rebound covered by Uriah Heep, So You Win Again by Hot Chokolate and New York Groove by both Sweet and Ace Frehley (Kiss)

Cool classic, love it. Love the organ, typical sixties, sadly these old organs are not so common anymore in modern music. Fun british band, not so common as other more known bands, but great. Always had a great affinity for these old beat and garage-beat songs, they have their own special charm. Check out "Tell her no" and "Time of the season".

[@jjr007]

There are many songs that claim to be "Definitive", but this one really is. It defined good music for an entire generation. Lex is dead right: The singer fell for a girl who was as beatiful as she was decietful and he is trying to hide his broken heart.

[@glenngotling657]

OK, this song is a perfect example of the point I tried to make in your earlier reaction to the Stone's Under My Thumb - I do not get caught up in the meaning of the lyrics because the sound/groove is great regardless of what the lyrics mean. Saying that, I know that's just my way of listening to music which is different than other people. I remember bopping and singing along to this song when it first came out and I don't believe I ever once knew what the lyrics were talking about. 😀

I've always thought that The Zombies could best be described as "spooky". They were the original spooky-sounding band prior to The Doors, with Rod Argent's keyboard sound equaling the spookiness of Ray Manzarek. Plus, with a name like The Zombies and dressing in black, they can't help being spooky (and maybe ghostly).

The Zombies were part of the British Invasion of the 1960s, following the Beatles over from the UK along with many other British artists. After having a successful run in the mid-'60s with "She's Not There" (1964), "Tell Her No" (1965), and "Time of the Season" (1968) (which I believe was sampled in at least one rap song), the leader of the band, Rod Argent, formed another band that began to have big success in the early '70s with hits like "Hold Your Head Up." One of my favorite songs by Argent was "God Gave Rock and Roll to You," which, unfortunately only enjoyed marginal success Whether or not you ever do a reaction video to it, I'm sure you would enjoy hearing it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6SqZoljpJuorrs
