This song always killed me as a kid, because I couldn't help but get a kick out of the lead singer just shaking his hair all over his face. I never knew the name of the group. I knew they were a different group had a similar sound to groups like Midnight Star. I find out that the Bar-Kays were an older group that my mom of course knew about though I never had the chance of asking. All I could think of at that time, is that whatever the popular "sound" was of the 80's dance era many copied it. But as an old friend said, if you're gonna copy someone then you copy the best. Which is why this era of the music industry was one of the best times for music. Mainly, because the parents of that time were able to enjoy some of the newer pieces before they handed the torch their children.

Heard this song all my life growing up, and through out the year's and never really listened intently to the lyrics, just the chorus. Here I am at 45 yrs old and am barely listening to the lyrics, and to what he's saying. It's soo true, been around clubs since I was old enough to get in one, and I've seen it all. 1 on 1, 2 on 2, men on men & chick's on chick's. (No rules, anything goes) Freak show alright. Haha.. say's alot about the place's I've been to right? Lol.. but good music has no color or gender, it's all about the music and how it makes you feel out there on the dancefloor. 😎

I remember growing up in the 80s when breakdancing came on the scene. I was only a little nipper then. They were the days man,serious. People used to have breakdancing competitions on lino on a field. The summers were beautiful, long and hot. I wish i was young again. Good old days ( SIGH ).

1984 was the best of times. Freak show playing at all the clubs was sure to get everyone on the dance floor.
