"Time of the Season" is a song by the English rock band the Zombies, featured as the final track of their 1968 album Odessey and Oracle. It was written by keyboardist Rod Argent and recorded at the EMI Abbey Road Studios in September, 1967. Over a year after its original release, the track became a surprise hit in the United States, rising to number three on the Billboard Hot 100 and number one on the Cashbox chart. It has become one of the Zombies' most popular and recognizable songs, and an iconic hit of 1960s psychedelia.
