"Night Time" is a song written and originally recorded by the Strangeloves in 1965. It was written by Bob Feldman, Jerry Goldstein and Richard Gottehrer, and is a track from their I Want Candy LP.
The song reached No. 30 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart and No. 21 on the Cash Box Top 100. It did not chart internationally except briefly in Australia. "Night Time" appeared on the 1972 garage rock compilation Nuggets: Original Artyfacts from the First Psychedelic Era, 1965–1968.
The Strangeloves fucking ruled, developing a take on proto-punk garage rock that was both bubblegum-catchy and dizzily percussion-heavy. Their singles, like "I Want Candy" and "Night Time," were just killer.
