"Psychotic Reaction" is a song by the American garage rock band Count Five, released in June 1966 on their debut studio album of the same name.
"Psychotic Reaction" was born out of an instrumental that Count Five played for six months before their manager Sol Ellner, Kenn Ellner's father, suggested that rhythm guitarist John "Sean" Byrne" write lyrics for it. Inspiration came in early 1966 when Byrne was seated in a health education class during his freshmen year at San Jose City College in California. As his professor lectured about psychosis and neurosis, Byrne's friend Ron Lamb, seated next to him, leaned over and whispered, "You know what would be a great name for a song? Psychotic Reaction!" Byrne later stated, "That was the missing punch-line for the song". He finished the lyrics and presented them to the rest of the group at band practice that night.
When the band played the song live a few weeks later at a dance at West Valley College, local KLIV disc jockey Brian Lord, emceeing the event, was very impressed. After a few pointed suggestions on rearranging the tune for a punchier sound, Lord landed the group auditions with several record labels, most of whom turned them down flat. Lord then put the band in touch with a couple of friends in Los Angeles, Hal Winn and Joe Hooven, who were about to start their own label, Double Shot Records. The band drove down to meet them at Decca Studios on Melrose Avenue. They were accompanied by Lord, who had the group begin the audition with some of their other songs before dramatically unveiling "Psychotic Reaction".
Irwin Zucker, the promotions director for Double Shot, waved "Psychotic Reaction" as the band's first release. The label originally considered another song by the band, "They're Gonna Get You", which was eventually decided to be the B-side. The single was issued in June 1966, on the same day that Ellner and Chaney graduated from Pioneer High School in San Jose. Over the next few months, the song gained heavy airplay on radio stations across the United States and began rapidly ascending the singles charts. The band were initially unaware of the song's success; Byrne said that the first time he heard it on the radio it was announced as the station's "most requested song", while Michalski recalled hearing it on three Bay Area stations at the same time. The single peaked at number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 in October 1966 and at number 3 on the Canadian RPM 100 later that month. "Psychotic Reaction" was among the first successful acid (or psychedelic rock) songs, containing the characteristics that would come to define acid rock: the use of feedback and distortion replacing early rock music's more melodic electric guitars.
To capitalize on the success of the single, Double Shot immediately pressured the band to record a full-length album. As a strategic decision, their debut album was also titled Psychotic Reaction, released in October 1966, including seven new songs composed mostly by John Byrne.

"7 Seconds in Heaven" starts at :26 when the camera pans to blonde members of The Action Kids dancers, Roberta Tennes and Jill Gordon. That's what is was all about. That's what is was like to be a teenager in the 1960s, as I was, and experience great songs like this one for the first time - pure joy and excitement. This clip brings the feeling back just as strong as ever. Sadly, beautiful Roberta died in 2015.
Great way to start the weekend. Classic song, cool clip and, let's face it, Go-Go girls just make the world better. Big thanks Sammy.
You're right Larry. Thanks.
Since Jimi Hendrix was still unknown, the big influence here would have to be Jeff Beck. Great track! Thanks for posting
Always thought this was a great Yardbirds knockoff song. The sound was right up their alley.
The girl with the long black hair on the left end was the best dancer. Great moves.
Sad that most if not all are gone. The drummer Butch after finishing college went into the Navy and flew P-3 aircraft. After his commitment was hired as a pilot for Delta Air Lines. Died in the late nineties from I think heart surgery.
I think I remember this one, all I know I like it!!! 😂, reminds me of something can't put my finger on it. Thank you!! 💕🎤🎸🎶🎶😎
I loved this song. Great clip.
Great historical background.
Haven’t heard this song in a long long time. Still love it.
This song is still so bad ass!! I love the way the second girl who comes out from behind the drums dances, like she is spot on with the beat of the music!! Imma have to learn her moves!! 😄🤘
I remember when THIS one was at the top of the charts! Great viseo perfectly synched to the nice DES! Thanks , Sammy!!!

Hard to believe this video performance is 58 years old. The song not only still holds up, if it were released for the first time today it would be a hit.
Thanks for posting, I just heard this on the radio, crazy good!
Thanks!
Very good syncing of this DES mix to video Sammy.
Thanks again Jacob.

Never heard an American sound so English.
The original camera operator thought he was an artist I guess. So many ruined 60's videos by the likes of him.
