That's one of the things I like about this boom in reaction videos; a whole new generation is discovering the music of our youth through them. And they're having the same reactions we did when we first heard these songs!
1965. This British Band was, and is still to this day, influencing other new Bands that came after them. This Band is commonly referred to, as being "ahead of their time." Even today, this 60s Band is often given credit for the great songs in their music catalogue, that have shaped other artist's and group's careers.
Love Lex's reactions :) . This is a 60's song. They need to listen to the Zombies performing "She's not there". I like the Moody Blues too - "Tuesday Afternoon".
Lex, you're freaking adorable! Love you guys. It's so nice to see young people with pure hearts and Brad is an actual MAN. You have great heads on your shoulders. I think Lex was meant to be a flower child 🤣. So cute!
The 60's and 70's had a whole range of solo and groups artists who were ALL trying to be as original as possible - no one wanted to sound like ANYONE else.... !!! these guys were awesome - even Santana covered their music with She's Not There....
In this episode of Brad & Lex, "Who's your Daddy"? Lex hit the nail on the head perplexing Brad while her head and shoulders release her confident "hippy sway snake trance bop" as Brad is comfortable with a very chill "side to side sway".
When I was a kid there was no FM radio. It was am radio that you listened to. I had a small ,ball radio that I would listen to every night when I had to go to bed and I would listen to music until I fell asleep. But this one night I was drifting off and this song came on and I jumped up and was like, this is the best song ever. I remember crying because it just blew my mind. I wish we could go back when things were not so complicated. Tech has set us back and we do not enjoy the simple things like we did back in the day.
Sadly, the band broke up after recording this album, which is arguably one of the greatest albums of the ‘60s, if not one of the greatest of all time. I recommend checking out the entire LP. Full of amazing music.
Lex, I cannot tell you how much fun it is to watch you have so much fun! Living vicariously, I suppose. 60s…..Bobbie Gentry Ode to Billy Joe, Ten Years After I’d Love To Change The World….Mamas and Papas Monday Monday
All of my teen years took place during the 60's .The Zombies where one of my MANY favourite bands back then . I know it doesn't make sense , but that's the way it was.
Big hit in the US but not over in the UK where they come from! Yes it's been sampled a lot by rap and hip hop artists. They're best remembered here for 'She's Not There', a must hear. If you were impressed with the song and keyboard playing then might I suggest some stuff from Argent - same guy on keyboards and song writing. You could start with one of their biggest, i.e. 'Hold Your Head Up' (long version) and take it from there. Cheers.
Hard to believe that I was in graduate school when this song was released in 1968. But then, when their earlier hit "She's Not There" was released in 1964, I was both an undergraduate and a newlywed. Both songs really take me back to those times. Thanks!
I saw them in the mid 1960s at the Airmans club, RAF Bentwaters in England. They sang, "She's Not There" among other songs. They had a great keyboardist who played the hell out of an electric piano.
Lex never seems to amaze me with her reactions. When she said that about who's your daddy I said YEAH!!!!!!!! I lost my mind cracking up!!! What a day.🤭😁😆😆😆
Gotta say, of all the reaction vids out there you guys got shit going on. First; your range of exploration is awesome. Second; your vids make me feel like I’m jammin’ with ya’s as opposed to a critique. You guys get me nostalgic AF. Thanks. 🤘🏼🇨🇦🤘🏼
'60's songs have their own sound. They left space in them. When bands adopted the panoply of new keyboard sounds in the early 70's, the keyboardist tended to fill in all those spaces with background keyboards. The Yes showed the world the beauty of the "lead bass", and bassists felt they had to divorce themselves from the drummer and go beyond the rhythm section and into melody, filling up even more of what used to be spaces in a song. Then drummers sat back and decided, "why not me, too?", and we got lots of fills filling up those spaces. A good song remains a good song, no matter what era, or how busy it ends up being, as demonstrated by acoustic or 'unplugged" and simplified performances by later bands seeking to do something different than their arena live performance. The Zombies produced some wonderful hit singles. They presaged the use of keyboards and more elaborate drumming.
Just saw an interview with Zombies band members on Andy and Alex. They have a new album coming and a US tour, if government tyrannts allow. Really nice guys.
Groovy baby! Lex, most 60's bands did dabble in drugs, but The Zombies were an exception, they were well brought up gentlemen. The lead singer and keyboard player are still writing and touring under The Zombies name, still sounding as good, even though they are in their later 70's now. I've chatted to them on a couple of occasions and they are lovely unassuming guys who are delighted to be finally getting the recognition they missed out on in their early days. Nominated 4 times over the last few years for induction into 'The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame' they finally got it in 2019.
Even in the late Sixties and early Seventies I'd listen to this song and marvel at how it was both musically rooted in the mid-Sixties and at the same time, really, really sophisticated.
Wow, thank you for reacting to "Time of Season"! When I was a young teen, this song first appeared on Top 40 radio and quickly became my favorite, and I'd still rate it as one of the Top 5 songs of the entire "late 60s era" of pop/rock music.
One of the truly great songs from one of the truly great albums of rock / pop. On another note: If Lex got a channel of just her listening to her favorite songs on headphones and it played 24 hours a day (like the Christmas Yule Log), I'd subscribe. Pure joy!!
Really and truthfully - you two are the best !!! The more I watch your reactions to songs and videos back in the days when I grew up ( 60's ,70's , and early 80's ) the more I appreciate the both of you !! Not only for your musical choices, but for the entertainment you guys bring ! So funny , yet serious ; smart , yet vulnerable ; agreeable yet disagreeable !!! Keep it going -- I'm always smiling when I leave your site
Built around the bassline heard in the intro, this song has some very effective and unusual structural components that helped it endure. The bass riff is punctuated with a hand clap and the breathy "ahhhh" vocal. These elements add sonic texture during the verses, and also show up in the two interludes. And while most hit songs pound you with the chorus, this one doesn't. The full chorus - "It's the time of the season for loving..." takes just eight seconds and is repeated three times. That's just 24 seconds of chorus, but this minimalist approach gave the line tremendous impact, resonating with listeners at a time of social and political turmoil in America.
Another interesting fact is the "clap" and the "ahhh" we're not originally written into the song. They were added at the spur of the moment when the song was being recorded by lead singer Colin Blunstone, and the producer and the rest of the band just went with it. Funny how it became the most memorable part of song (besides the "who's your daddy", that is.)
That is such a special unique song. It completely fits the time period but also doesn’t sound like anything else. I Love seeing the Love you have for each other. Cherish each other. You have something rare and special.✌️✌️✌️
1968. Great song . Iconic of a decade for sure. Okay, so there is something almost romantic about this song. Even if you weren't born in that time, there's a nostalgia for a time not lived, and we can vibe to that.
Love these reactions on several levels and both of you together really compliment each other. Brad is hilarious. As a musician and a music lover of all kinds of music but also into dance and so forth, I just love how in touch with all of that Lex is. It feels like such an honest expression and it's delightful and entertaining at the same time, and it's almost always identical to the way I'm feeling it.
It was released in 1968. The keyboard player went on to have a successful solo career after the band broke up. You also should listen to "She's Not There".
Actually it was out in 69, their biggest hit. A groovy sound typical for music at that time. Shes not There and Tell her No are very good from 65. In my opinion 68, 69 and 70 were the greatest years for music. Also many one hit wonders then also.
White boys had a lot of swag in the 60s and 70s. This does remind me of James Bond or Austin Powers as Lex put it. It just feels very James Bond type cool to me.
I'm glad you guys got to hear the Zombies finally. The movie this was from was "Awakenings" is where you most likely heard it from. They have numerous hits. Try "She's not there"
Keyboarist Rod Argent formed the group Argent in 1969. Their most successful song is Hold Your Head High. Other songs to listen to are God Gave Rock & Roll To You (which was performed by Kiss in Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey) and Liar.
Rod Argent on keyboards. He also had his own band Argent with guitarist/vocalist Russ Ballard. They made Hold Your Head Up and God Gave Rock'n'Roll to You (Covered by Kiss). Ballard have also written a lot of great songs that have been covered by other bands. New York Groove (Ace Frehley, Sweet), Since You Been Gone, I Surrender ( both by Rainbow), So You Win Again (Hot Chocolate) and On the Rebound (Uriah Heep)
Great song and this band was part of the British Invasion. They were one of many bands who hit it big in the states on the heels of The Beatles invasion of America. This song is from 1965 I think. ☮️✌️💕
I love when Lex recognizes a song or at least the chorus. Her delight is fantastic. ❤️
YES!
She is a trip.
yes ..she´s gereat and so unique. it´s great to watch her reactions. she´s fantastic.
Who's your daddy ? Is a great line .
So many young people these days are missing out on the gold mine of great music from the old days. Great music never gets old in my opinion.
Not these two. They seem to explore all sorts of music from the past.
A lot of young people are shocked when you tell them that they did it without a computer.
@@kesleycottrell1416 as a young person no not at all
You are so right Richard.
That's one of the things I like about this boom in reaction videos; a whole new generation is discovering the music of our youth through them. And they're having the same reactions we did when we first heard these songs!
Check out "She's not there" by the Zombies. Another classic.
And the superb cover by Santana
and "Tell Her No".
1965. This British Band was, and is still to this day, influencing other new Bands that came after them. This Band is commonly referred to, as being "ahead of their time." Even today, this 60s Band is often given credit for the great songs in their music catalogue, that have shaped other artist's and group's careers.
Yup, If anybody is from Cali they know that Jelllyfish was hugely influenced by them
You need to really research the Tavistock Institute to see exactly why the British invasion was created. And it's not good.
this song really gas a great sound.
Actually it was 1968.
This reaction reminds me that Lex is a national treasure that must be protected at all costs!
She is absolutely adorable, and truly her mother's child! Shout out to Mama Lex!
I will take first watch.
And all the watches after that.
Love Lex's reactions :) . This is a 60's song. They need to listen to the Zombies performing "She's not there". I like the Moody Blues too - "Tuesday Afternoon".
Yes, and as Lex said it was in one of the Austin Power movies so of course it would be from 1960s.
LOVE "She's Not There"!
Another single is 'Tell her, no'.
TOTS was released in 1968 after the band had broken up
Hellz Yeah! 👍🔥
Yeah
I couldnt stop laughing:
Lex: OH IS THAT SONG THATS WHOS YOUR DADDY!?!?
Brad: (wtf look)
You two are awesome, so glad i subscribed! :)
Moments like that are really the highlight of this channel. Mr. Objective and Ms. Subjective playing off each other. :)
Lex, you're freaking adorable! Love you guys. It's so nice to see young people with pure hearts and Brad is an actual MAN. You have great heads on your shoulders. I think Lex was meant to be a flower child 🤣. So cute!
Lex is a whole vibe.. love the reactions
The 60's and 70's had a whole range of solo and groups artists who were ALL trying to be as original as possible - no one wanted to sound like ANYONE else.... !!! these guys were awesome - even Santana covered their music with She's Not There....
In this episode of Brad & Lex, "Who's your Daddy"? Lex hit the nail on the head perplexing Brad while her head and shoulders release her confident "hippy sway snake trance bop" as Brad is comfortable with a very chill "side to side sway".
😂😂😂
As soon as I saw Lex flip out at the start of the video I came looking for this comment. Not disappointed. 👍👍
@@wompa70 Me too! I hear Smitty's play-by-play in a deep announcer voice.
Smitty you should change your profile name to "B&L Assessments"
Make sure and check out Andy & Alex's interview with Rod & Colin (The Zombies) they did yesterday! Really good. Great reaction as always B&L
On my watch list.
They were so humble and brilliant!! Lovely guys.
That Hammond organ really sets it off!
This is one of my favorite songs! Still gives me chills when played on surround sound.
You guys are onto some great music today, as usual. Next Zombies, try 'She's not there'. Do the official video not lyric video.
This is 1965. Pretty trippy for a pop song at that time. Classic.
Actually it's 1968.
This whole album is a work of art. Seriously in the top 100 rock albums of all time.

some of them became Argent didn't they?

As a real eye opener I’d suggest Timothy by the Bouys.
@@ph1gm3nt Thanks now I am hungry lol
@@Dardrum my bad, sorry! Um, do you know that song, or did you just check it out?
@@ph1gm3nt I know the song since it came out, They ate poor Tim
Such an awesome song from my era. I'm 73 yrs and love this song. This group is so awesome!!!
Saw them in concert a few years ago with the turtles and country Joe and the fish. Excellent concert.
Great recent 1 hr interview of the Zombies (Rod and Colin) on Andy & Alex's channel. They have a tour planned starting in April.
AND they will be playing in Florida...
I love the can of Coke comparison. I never would've thought of it, but it's spot on.
Lex's reaction was an absolute treasure
The chord progression in the chorus is unique... I've always been a sucker for those.
You guys should react to…
The Moody Blues - Nights in White Satin
🎸🤘
great choice they should do the studio album i think thats longer
All of my teen years took place during the 60's .The Zombies where one of my MANY favourite bands back then . I know it doesn't make sense , but that's the way it was.
This is great 60's music!
This is such a classic 60s song. Hearing it automatically puts me in a good mood

It was their biggest hit. Their best song is "Liar". First time i heard it, I was captured by the organ solo, then enslaved by the guitar solo.
Alex & Andy just interviewed them. Cool.
big hit in our household way over here in New Zealand...was always good music like this blaring out of our lounge
Yes the keyboardist was Rod Argent, who formed his own band.
Hard to believe that I was in graduate school when this song was released in 1968. But then, when their earlier hit "She's Not There" was released in 1964, I was both an undergraduate and a newlywed. Both songs really take me back to those times. Thanks!
The 60s wete great musically.What a treat to revisit this song.So ahead of the times.

That sound you're recognizing, Brad is from the song by Ben E. King - Stand by Me. It's an amazing song and I'm sure you've both heard it before.
Similar but not the same.
That album, Odyssey and Oracle, was a real eye opener after their excellent singles. One of the GREAT albums of the 60's. Almost every track top tier.
'60's songs have their own sound. They left space in them. When bands adopted the panoply of new keyboard sounds in the early 70's, the keyboardist tended to fill in all those spaces with background keyboards.

Santana does an awesome cover of the Zombies She's not there! It must be played loud and will rock your world especially the guitar solo!
This reminds me of car radios blasting in the parking lot at my High School.
One of my favorites songs of 1968. Love how Lex reacts to the music. That’s what draw me to this channel ✌️. She would be a good hippie ✌️.
Ooooooo yes! Check out ‘She’s Not There’, you guys will LOVE it!!! 🔥🙌🏻
Just saw an interview with Zombies band members on Andy and Alex. They have a new album coming and a US tour, if government tyrannts allow. Really nice guys.

Psychedelic and modern at the same time. Ageless tune.
Even in the late Sixties and early Seventies I'd listen to this song and marvel at how it was both musically rooted in the mid-Sixties and at the same time, really, really sophisticated.
Oh my God, I turn 62 today and you're dragging me back to the 60s? Some nerve. Rock on!!
I got to say I love Lex’ reactions to these classic songs!
Wow, thank you for reacting to "Time of Season"! When I was a young teen, this song first appeared on Top 40 radio and quickly became my favorite, and I'd still rate it as one of the Top 5 songs of the entire "late 60s era" of pop/rock music.

Gorgeous song I listening I was 15 years old is awesome
Yeah, there are some cool ass songs from the 50's and 60's. worth checking out.
The Zombies put the COO in COOL and the GROOV in GROOVY with this song. What a great sound
these guys were one of my favorites, they had that psychadelic edge to their perfect melodies and harmonies
I just came across this again. Lex is so damn funny and as a musician, I can tell that she really gets it on that level.

They are still touring. This was the coolest song. Y'all are finding the Faberge eggs. Is it Easter?
That is such a special unique song. It completely fits the time period but also doesn’t sound like anything else. I Love seeing the Love you have for each other. Cherish each other. You have something rare and special.✌️✌️✌️
I grew up with this on am radio. Huge huge hit with everyone. What sound. One of a kind .
so glad I grew up during the 60's,70's and 80's. I didn't realize at the time the amazing talent that was out there.
That bass line. Instantly recognizable.
I can't believe Lex can do the "soda pop opening" sound. Perfectly.
A real 60's groove...love it.... very cool...very chill and makes you feel good....
One of my all-time favourite basslines.
The tone is gorgeous.
Yes the 60's. I was a teenager. A song that never gets old.
"They are like cracking open a Coke or something" - best description I ever heard of that rhythm!
"Who's your daddy?"🤣
1968. Great song . Iconic of a decade for sure. Okay, so there is something almost romantic about this song. Even if you weren't born in that time, there's a nostalgia for a time not lived, and we can vibe to that.
Very awesome band and highly influential. Glad your channel is delving into 60s…best decade of them all and the decade that changed everything
Every reaction video that I have seen, Lex always hits dead center of the bulls eye perfectly one time.
This song has an everlasting impression. Such a timeless, ageless and unique style 😎My 2 yo son loves it!
Love these reactions on several levels and both of you together really compliment each other. Brad is hilarious. As a musician and a music lover of all kinds of music but also into dance and so forth, I just love how in touch with all of that Lex is.

YOU GUYS ROCK SO DARN MUCH!!! THANK YOU BUNCHES AND LOTS FOR THIS.. I REQUESTED THIS ON ONE OF YOUR LAST VIDS.. THANKS...KUDOS..
It is fun to watch Lex grooving to the music I and my friends listened to almost 60 years ago. My, my it brings back memories.
Three Dog Night - Black and White
Some of the greatest times in music, the moody blues too.
She cracks me up. Keep up the the good work you 2.
It was released in 1968. The keyboard player went on to have a successful solo career after the band broke up. You also should listen to "She's Not There".
Actually it was out in 69, their biggest hit. A groovy sound typical for music at that time. Shes not There and Tell her No are very good from 65. In my opinion 68, 69 and 70 were the greatest years for music. Also many one hit wonders then also.
Shes not there released 1964 in UK and this one 1968.
Back then this song was huge ...this is lite...vibe big time...I was a little boy when hearing this.
White boys had a lot of swag in the 60s and 70s. This does remind me of James Bond or Austin Powers as Lex put it. It just feels very James Bond type cool to me.
The organist was Rod Argent who had a hit of his own with HOLD YOUR HEAD HIGH. He's a good organist. They also had another hit with SHE'S NOT THERE.
Born in 92. People dont celebrate much 80s music anymore, some 90s, and some 2000s. But so much late 60s and all of the 70s music is still celebrated.
Lex it is so cool that you have heard this song. Love the 60's music!
I'm glad you guys got to hear the Zombies finally. The movie this was from was "Awakenings" is where you most likely heard it from. They have numerous hits. Try "She's not there"

Favorite use of this in movies/TV is an awesome scene in Awakenings
Great song and this band was part of the British Invasion. They were one of many bands who hit it big in the states on the heels of The Beatles invasion of America. This song is from 1965 I think. ☮️✌️💕
Not quite, it was recorded in August 1967.
I am so glad I subscribed to your channel. Y'all are perfect just like you are. Never change.
Greatest 60's Masterpiece, Ever!! I Would Have Loved To Hear A Cover of This Incredible Song, By The Doors! Would Have Been Something Special!
Growing up back then was so care-free and simple.
Damn it's the season. You guy's never disappoint. Late 60s groovy man. 🤔😁🐊🌴🌞😜😎
I remember hearing this in The Conjuring as well. Although I grew up in the 70’s so I heard it a lot.
A Timeless Classic, "Time of the Season," Carlos Santana did a Cover of their other Tune "She's not There." I love these 60's Classics.
Just love this band - just one of so many great british bands in the sixties.And this was my favourite.Zombies song.
Next Zombies song "Tell Her No".
