Le Freak
Chic's biggest hit
Le Freak is a 1978 disco song by the band Chic, built around the chant Freak out!
The title's French article gives the phrase mock sophistication.
Beyond the specific song, le freak sometimes appears as playful shorthand for dancing, partying, or losing one's composure in an exuberant way: We did le freak on the dance floor all night.
