Musicbrainz DBIt's the Time Of the Season.
When love runs high.
And this time, give it to me easy.
And let me try with pleasured hands.
To take you in the sun to (promised lands).
To show you every one. It's the time of
the season for loving.
What's your name? Who's your daddy?
(He rich) Is he rich like me.
Has he taken, any time.
(To show) To show you what you need to live.
Tell it to me slowly (tell me what).
I really want to know. It's the time of
the season for loving.
When love runs high.
And this time, give it to me easy.
And let me try with pleasured hands.
To take you in the sun to (promised lands).
To show you every one. It's the time of

| caregiver (near contentment now) | Posted: Nov 04, 2012 - 12:40 By the time Odessey and Oracle was released in April 1968, the group had disbanded. The album sold poorly and was only given a US release because musician Al Kooper convinced his label of the album's merits. Remember Argent's "Hold Your Head Up" ... that was Zombies founding member Rod Argent. He also played piano on the Who's title cut "Who Are You." More useless trivia to fill our minds ... |
| Stingray | Posted: Oct 04, 2012 - 04:19 Wonderful cover! Post-mortem and post-modern...
PS By the way: Why no Mamas? Why no Papas? |

| gemtag (Texas) | Posted: Nov 22, 2011 - 12:41 Another era-defining song. It blows my mind. |
| bmccaul (always getting nearer to Paradise) | Posted: Nov 22, 2011 - 12:41 More Zombies please - this is the only Zombies song ever played on RP?! |
| scrubbrush (Sea of Calm) | Posted: Nov 22, 2011 - 12:41 i wonder if this is the first documented usage of the phrase "Who's your daddy"? |

| johnjconn (chicago land) | Posted: Oct 08, 2010 - 17:34 God I hate the 60's music. Lazy Hippies who just want to get high and laid hey wait! that doesn't sound so bad does it,,, but this song still sucks |

| Cynaera (South of Neanderthal) | Posted: Aug 05, 2010 - 16:41 Oh, this song just makes me wanna trot out my Mamas and Papas CD, and my Tommy James, and.... I have a CD by Brent Bourgeois, and he does an excellent cover of this song, complete with a huge thunderboomer. It's really good. If I can ever find it, I'll try to get it here for review and playage, although I don't seem to be having much success in that area yet.  |

Besides, the lyrics may seem a bit creepy by today's standards, but they were certainly never "obscene". |

Basically they're coming on to the women who already have boyfriends and are trying to score with them. Sick. But I still like the song anyway, guilty pleasure I guess, and the Zombies, I don't know I just like that combo of Rod Argent's keyboards and the different kind of sound they put out.
