    I'm a big freak (R*U*1*2)

    obviously I am only using the title of a well known disco tune to start this going, so...don't get funny(!):p

    who knows more titles or lyrics that contain the word 'freak', in it's many variations
    or spelling of the word?
    The one I mention comes from the album 'Patrick Adams presents Phreek'

    There are a few others that immediately pop up.....:roll:

    G.Q. 'Disco Nights (Rock Freak)', 'Freak On' by Lemon & Joe Thomas' 'Platos Retreat' uses the lyric 'lets all do the freak'. Of course, the biggest one of all, 'Le Freak' by Chic.:p Oh & Funkadelic used the lyric 'she's the freak of the week' in 'Not Just Knee Deep'.

    Well, B-I-T-D, in meant being out there, waaaay off center, twisted beyond just freak-ish. It evolved into the 'freaky deaky person' is "just doin' his/her own thing", whatever turns him on, whenever it turns him on, no cares or consequences.

    I can't recall the lyrics to this or the other song mentioned so I don't know if it was being used in the same way.

    Ah I see Nicky; so it basically means being freaky but even more so. Flower must mean that she wants to go dancing in a wild & devil-may-care way?8-)

    YES! we shall add this title to the list. I was actually waiting for that one..
    LOVE the party sounds of the intro and Isaac mumbling about some 'big watermelons' on that one!! Just the cover with the image of Isaac jumping out of the water with a banana between his ivory is worth the inclusion...freaky deaky...

    You're probably thinking of the Rick James cut.

    I might also add:
    Blue Magic: "Freak-n-Stein"
    Asphalt Jungle: "Freakin' time"
    Studio 54: "Freak it"
    Sweat Band: "Freak to Freak"
    Fatback Band: "Freak the Freak the Funk"
    St. Tropez's remake of: "I want to do something freaky to you" (Leon Haywood)
    Miami: "Freak on down my way"

    I think you may be right about it being a RJ track KoolChris. Can you remember what album?

    I can't believe I forgot about Miami's "Freak On Down My Way" and "Sweat Band's "Freak To Freak".

    Foxy
    Get Off


    Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,
    Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

    Yeah
    Get off
    Music may ease and end all discretion
    So we can get off

    We keep under the sheets with two lovelys
    So we can get off
    Said I hope that we get the promise, ladies
    And make me get off
    Take it from girls with our imagination
    So we can get off
    Call me up at your place, I can love you crazy
    In the heat you will understand
    Danger and excitement
    That's what makes a lady
    Find out what she wants in a man

    To get off
    To get off
    To get off
    To get off
    To get off
    To get off
    To get off
    To get
    Get off

    Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh,
    Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

    Lookin' through that dress
    That drive me crazy and makes me get off

    Sensuality excites my mind, it makes get off
    If I were you I'd get a good perspective on how to get off
    Love me wild and love me crazy, so we can get off

    Call me up at your place, I can love you crazy
    In the heat you will understand
    Danger and excitement, that's what makes a lady
    Find out what she wants in a man

    To get off, to get off, to get off, to get off
    To get off, to get off, to get off, to get, get off

    Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

    Get off

    So get off
    To get off
    To get off
    To get
    Get off
    Get off
    To get off
    To get off
    Get off
    So get off
    Get off
    To get off
    To get
    Get off
    Get off to get off

    Well, Thanks for shedding some light on the matter remicks! The lyrics in that song are hard to make out @ times but I knew I could count on you.;)

    Lyrics to: Mass Production - Eyeballin "Freakin' & Rockin' Can Drive You Crazy; All I Can Do To Keep From Being Lazy"

    *****Still waiting for the cd reissue of both; The album this song is from "In The Purest Form" & "Masterpeace". Mass Production's cd catalogue is EXTREMELY limited:evil:
