“Zilch” is a song off of The Monkees' third album, Headquarters. It was the hidden meaning to the album: nothing.

Running at only a minute and eight seconds, the song is a spoken word tongue twister, with each line overlapping each other. It served as an interlude to the final three songs, similar to “Band 6” being the interlude after the first three songs on the album.

The song is considered a fan favorite, for how random and strange it is. Each separate part of the song is featured on the 2003 Headquarters Sessions. The song was also sampled in the 1991 song, “Mistadobalina”, repeating the opening line as the hook.
