“Freak Like Me” is a Sugababes cover of the 1995 hit originally sung by Adina Howard. Produced by Richard X, it uses a different backing track, namely that of “Are ‘Friends’ Electric?” by Gary Numan and the Tubeway Army.
It was the lead single from the Sugababes' second album, Angels with Dirty Fac...
[Verse 1: Mutya]
Let me lay it on the line
I got a little freakiness inside
And you know that the man
Has got to deal with it
I don't care what they say
I'm not about to pay nobody's way
Cause it's all about the dark in me
Mm-hmm
[Pre-Chorus: Heidi & Mutya]
I wanna freak in the morning
A freak in the evening, just like me
I need a roughneck brother
That can satisfy me, just for me
If you are that kind of man, 'cause I'm that kind of girl
I got a freaky secret, everybody sing
'Cause we don't give a damn about a thing
[Chorus: All]
'Cause I will be a freak, until the day until the dawn
And we can pump, pump all through the night till the early morn'
Come on and I will take you around the 'hood on a gangsta lean
'Cause we can pump, pump
Any time of day it's all good for me
[Verse 2: Keisha]
Boy, you're moving kind of slow
You got to keep it up now, there you go
There's just one thing that a man must do
I'm packing all the flavours you need
I got you shook up on your knees
'Cause it's all about the dog in me
[Pre-Chorus: Heidi, Keisha & Mutya]
I wanna freak in the morning
A freak in the evening just like me
I need a roughneck brother
That can satisfy me, just for me
If you are that kind of man, cause I'm that kind of girl
I got a freaky secret, everybody sing
'Cause we don't give a damn about a thing
[Chorus: All (with ad-libs from Heidi & Keisha]
Cause I will be a freak until the day until the dawn (Freak in me)
And we can pump, pump all through the night till the early morn (You'll bring out the freak, yeah, yeah)
Come on and I will take you around the 'hood on a gangsta lean (Taking you around the hood)
Cause we can pump, pump
Any time of day it's all good for me
(It's all good for me!)
[Outro (Repeat until fade): All (Heidi & Mutya)]
(Good for me!)
I wanna freak in the morning
A freak in the evening, just like me
I need a roughneck brother
That can satisfy me, just for me
Freak Like Me was written by Bootsy Collins & Eugene Hanes & Gary Numan & George Clinton & Loren Hill & Marc Valentine.
Freak Like Me was produced by Richard X.
Sugababes released Freak Like Me on Mon Apr 22 2002.
In an interview on V Graham Norton, Gary Numan admitted that he felt this song was better than “Are ‘Friends’ Electric?”
In 2001, music producer Richard X produced a bootleg mashup of the original recordings of “Freak Like Me” and “Are ‘Friends’ Electric?”. He called it “We Don’t Give a Damn About Our Friends” and released under the alias “Girls on Top”.
After the mashup became a popular underground dance track, Rich...
