I’ve heard this 900 billion times, but it never gets old. I can’t even imagine how fresh it sounded when this tune first came out in ‘78. Legendary music ❤
Rock, Melodic Metal guitar player here--Yet love this! Man, late 70s --disco-funk, with this sound. Bernard Edward's influence can be heard in John Taylor (Bass) of Duran Duran--Bernard worked hands on with him, Nile with Andy Taylo (Guitar). Nile produced, etc. Their spin off --Power Station. Like for/with so many other record winning artists. Guys--pure genius! Love you guys, RIP Mr. Edwards.

The original name of this song, as they first jammed in the studio after being refused entry to Studio 54 nightclub, was what the doorman told them: “Fuck Off”
[Chorus] Ah, freak out Le freak, c'est chic Freak out Ah, freak out Le freak, c'est chic Freak out [Verse 1] Have you heard about the new dance craze Listen to us, I'm sure you'll be amazed Big fun to be had by everyone It's up to you, it surely can be done Young and old are doing it, I'm told Just one try, and you too will be sold It's called Le Freak, they're doing it night and day Allow us, we'll show you the way [Chorus] Ah, freak out Le freak, c'est chic Freak out Ah, freak out Le freak, c'est chic Freak out [Verse 2] All that pressure got you down Has your head spinning all around Feel the rhythm, check the rhyme Come on along and have a real good time Like the days of “Stompin' at the Savoy” Now we freak, oh what a joy Just come on down, to the 54 And find a spot out on the floor [Chorus] Ah, freak out Le freak, c'est chic Freak out [Breakdown] Now freak I said freak Now freak [Verse 2] All that pressure got you down Has your head spinning all around Feel the rhythm, check the ride Come on along and have a real good time Like the days of “Stompin' at the Savoy” Now we freak, oh what a joy Just come on down, to the 54 And find a spot out on the floor [Chorus] Ah, freak out Le freak, c'est chic Freak out Ah, freak out Le freak, c'est chic Freak out
I've always loved how Bernard alternated between a long note and a short note on the one in the Ah, Freak Out sections. And I love his "whurrrr" bass note at 3:40 as he was just jamming.
via Wikipedia "According to guitarist Nile Rodgers, the song was devised during New Year's Eve 1977, as a result of him and bassist Bernard Edwards' being refused entrance to Studio 54, where they had been invited by Grace Jones, due to her failure to notify the nightclub's staff. He said the lyrics of the refrain were originally "Fuck off!" rather than "Freak out!";[10] for the documentary "How to Make It in the Music Business", he said that 'fuck off' was what the doorman had said to him when he slammed the door on them; first it was changed to "freak off" after Rodgers mused that they wouldn't be able to say 'fuck off' on the radio, but that sounded "terrible", so he changed it to 'freak out"
Very successful and greatful house party people's song music forces always blessing Dance floor of soul orchestra rocks and roll and club is brilliantly Nubian nation and kings and queens wooly African warrior blood pay the way American holiday thanksgiving day Remember ourselves Nile guitar hero boogie groovy man Rodger and Mr Bernardino Bernard hero boogie groovy man Edwards World greatest band. 😀😁😂😃😄😅😆
my uncle was the doorman they wrote this song about. later that year, he was murdered in his apartment by two guys who went to the wrong door trying to find a party. so, I guess Nile laughs last.

Lord have mercy; such a wonderful mix of guitars, violins, cello's, drums and percussion. Beautiful.
That bass line is legendary
Love for Piano no, I’m talking about the bass
So true.

Instrumentation in general is legendary. Everything works so well on its own and brought together is just fantastic

Strings! Also, the count-off at the start is my favorite part of this song!
Chic mixes strings so well in all their music.

[Chorus]
Ah, freak out
Le freak, c'est chic
Freak out
Ah, freak out
Le freak, c'est chic
Freak out
[Verse 1]
Have you heard about the new dance craze
Listen to us, I'm sure you'll be amazed
Big fun to be had by everyone
It's up to you, it surely can be done
Young and old are doing it, I'm told
Just one try, and you too will be sold
It's called Le Freak, they're doing it night and day
Allow us, we'll show you the way
[Chorus]
Ah, freak out
Le freak, c'est chic
Freak out
Ah, freak out
Le freak, c'est chic
Freak out
[Verse 2]
All that pressure got you down
Has your head spinning all around
Feel the rhythm, check the rhyme
Come on along and have a real good time
Like the days of “Stompin' at the Savoy”
Now we freak, oh what a joy
Just come on down, to the 54
And find a spot out on the floor
[Chorus]
Ah, freak out
Le freak, c'est chic
Freak out
[Breakdown]
Now freak
I said freak
Now freak
[Verse 2]
All that pressure got you down
Has your head spinning all around
Feel the rhythm, check the ride
Come on along and have a real good time
Like the days of “Stompin' at the Savoy”
Now we freak, oh what a joy
Just come on down, to the 54
And find a spot out on the floor
[Chorus]
Ah, freak out
Le freak, c'est chic
Freak out
Ah, freak out
Le freak, c'est chic
Freak out
Thanks for posting the lyrics 👍😃
Minutes from 2.45 to 3.45 are colossal
My favorite part, the guitar melody plays the same notes but the strings get higher and higher, a cool effect!
@@track1219 totally agree
Instrumental poderosíssimo!
chic is one of the best funk band with a timeless sound
magnificent
Arranjo Magnífico!Violinos, guitarras e percussão!Um Salve todo especial do Brasil =)

How is this comment thread not all about Niles Rodgers?

I was a freshman in college when this came out in ‘78. The floor of the gay clubs was crowded you could barely move. EVERYBODY wanted to dance to it!
PURE LEGENDS!!

Gold here
My wife and I love it all !!!
When dance music had an actual groove. Today’s dance music sucks.
