About The Song
“Le Freak” by Chic is a funk-disco song released in 1978. It was Chic’s third single and became their first Billboard Hot 100 and R&B number-one hit, staying at the top for seven weeks. The genesis of the song came from Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards being denied entry into Studio 54 on New Year’s Eve 1977. They created an x-rated hook directed at Studio 54’s doorman, which eventually evolved into “Le Freak”.
The lyrics “Le freak, c’est chic” (French for “Freak out, it’s chic”) reflect the desire to dance and have fun, rather than expressing anger or frustration. It encourages people to let go and enjoy themselves. Despite its origin story and original lyrics, the song is not about anger or frustration. Instead, it’s about letting go and enjoying oneself. The chorus “Le Freak, c’est Chic” encourages people to embrace their inner freak and have a good time. While it’s a catchy party anthem on the surface, “Le Freak” carries deeper themes of acceptance and unity. It conveys a message of inclusivity and encourages people to come together and dance.

Lyrics
(One, two)
Ah, freak out!
Le freak, c’est Chic
Freak out!
Ah, freak out!
Le freak, c’est Chic
Freak out!
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
Ah, freak out!
Le freak, c’est Chic
Freak out!
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 stomping at the Savoy
Now we freak, oh, what a joy
Just come on down, two 54
Find a spot out on the floor
Ah, freak out!
Le freak, c’est Chic
Freak out!
Now freak!
I said freak!
Now freak!
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 stomping at the Savoy
Now we freak, oh, what a joy
Just come on down, two 54
Find a spot out on the floor
Ah, freak out!
Le freak, c’est Chic
Freak out!
Ah, freak out!
Le freak, c’est Chic
Freak out!
