Freakshow On the Dance Floor Lyrics

Dance freaks move around
You know, get down
Dance freaks move around
You know, get down
It's like a freakshow, yeah, huh
Freakshow, baby, baby
On the dance floor
There's a freakshow
Freakshow, baby, baby
On the dance floor
It's just a freakshow
People, they come
From miles around
To see the freaks on
The floor throwing down
They're wearin' miniskirts
Huh, and camisoles
Tight leather pants
Or nothing at all
You'll be dancing
One on one or two on two
They're dancing three on one
'Cause there ain't no rules
Face to face
And cheek to cheek
They're dancing on the floor
For all to see
Freakshow, baby, baby
On the dance floor
There's a freakshow
When you're out on the floor
Freakshow, baby, baby
On the dance floor
It's just a freakshow
Everywhere I go, yeah
Freakshow, baby, baby
On the dance floor
There's a freakshow
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Freakshow, baby, baby
On the dance floor
It's just a freakshow
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, whoa oh, whoa oh oh
Everybody sing, say
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, whoa oh, whoa oh oh
People, they come
From everywhere
They stand in line every night
Just to be there
'Cause when the music starts
And the show begins
You can see it all
Once you get in
You'll be dancing
One on one or two on two
They're dancing three on one
'Cause there ain't no rules
Guys with guys
And chicks with chicks
No, it really doesn't matter
They just do it for the kicks, yeah
Freakshow, baby, baby
On the dance floor
There's a freakshow
When they're out on the floor
Freakshow, baby, baby
On the dance floor
It's just a freakshow
Let me tell you
Freakshow, baby, baby
On the dance floor
There's a freakshow
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Freakshow, baby, baby
On the dance floor
It's just a freakshow
Let me hear you sing, say
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, whoa oh, oh oh oh
Shake your body
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, whoa oh, oh oh oh
Shake your body
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, whoa oh, oh oh oh
Shake your body

The Bar-Kays were a popular Memphis, Tennessee, soul, R&B, and funk group performing from 1966 that continues in some form to perform today, although with only one original member. They began as a favorite soul studio sessions group backing major artists at Stax Records, chosen in 1967 by Otis Redding to play as his touring backup band.

On December 10, 1967, Redding, his manager, and band members Jimmy King (b.1949; guitar), Ronnie Caldwell (b. 1948; organ), Phalon Jones (b. 1949; saxophone), and Carl Cunningham (b. 1949; drums) died in a plane crash in Lake Monona while on their way to a performance in Madison, Wisconsin.

Trumpeter Ben Cauley survived the crash and bassist James Alexander (who missed the flight due to returning a rental car) rebuilt the group.

The reformed band consisted of Cauley; Alexander; Harvey Henderson, saxophone; Michael Toles, guitar; Ronnie Gorden, organ; Willie Hall, drums and later Larry Dodson, lead vocals.

The group backed dozens of major Stax artists on recordings afterwards, including on Isaac Hayes' Hot Buttered Soul album, and changed direction in the 1970s to have a successful funk music career. Lloyd Smith joined the Bar-Kays in 1973. They continued to score hits on R&B charts well into the 1980s and lately have incorporated contemporary rap & remix elements into their continuing career and have performed all over the world.
