Lord have mercy; such a wonderful mix of guitars, violins, cello's, drums and percussion. Beautiful.

That bass line is legendary

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.

Bernard Edwards killed it ! that bass line is just awesome

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 ❤

I was in High School when that was our I'm 57 the Bass was killing then and it still is Bernard Edwards R.I.P.

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”

Made in Heaven........... beautiful.

Strings! Also, the count-off at the start is my favorite part of this song!

RIP Bernard Edwards RIP Tony Thompson. Both gone way too soon.

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.

Minutes from 2.45 to 3.45 are colossal

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!

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"

[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
