The single also reached the top 20 in New Zealand and Germany.Įric Bazilian told the Chicago Tribune in 1985 that he didn't know the meaning of the song despite having written it. It became a minor hit in the US, reaching the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and a top 10 success in Australia, where it peaked at No. They re-released "All You Zombies" with additional instrumental sections, making the song almost six minutes long. Hyman and Bazilian had worked with Cyndi Lauper on her album She's So Unusual, which led to Columbia Records offering the band a contract. A different version of the song later appeared on the Amore album, released independently in 1983. The single was released in 1982 by Eighty Percent Records. The Hooters first released a version of "All You Zombies" recorded live at the Emerald City nightclub in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, on 11 April 1981. Writing partner Rob Hyman believed the song to be the fastest they had written "that was of any quality." Influenced by reggae music, co-writer Eric Bazilian said the band was working on a different song when the idea "just came to us, like a vision." The band members dropped their work on the other song and finished "All You Zombies" that night. It also charted within the top 20 in Germany and New Zealand, but was most successful in Australia, where it reached Number 8 on the charts in 1985. This version was released as a single in 1985 and reached No. It was subsequently included on the band's debut album Amore (1983) and an extended version of the song was included on their second album Nervous Night (1985). It was first recorded live and released as a single in 1982. " All You Zombies" is a song by American rock band The Hooters, written by the band's founding members Eric Bazilian and Rob Hyman.
