It's Five O'Clock (song)

"It's Five O'clock" is a song by the Greek band Aphrodite's Child from their 1969 studio album ''It's Five O'Clock''. It was also released as a single, in February 1970, on Mercury Records.

The song was written by Evangelos Papathanassiou and Richard Julian Francis. The song reached no. 6 in Switzerland and no. 11 in the Netherlands. Italian singer Milva in 1981 released a German-language version titled "Kennst du das auch?" and a French-language version titled "Le drapeau de l'humanité".

A new studio version by ex-Aphrodite's Child vocalist Demis Roussos was included on his 1987 album '' The Demis Roussos Story'' on the label . The recording was also released as a single from that album (in 1987 on BR Music).
