I'm a Texas cowboy and I first heard this in a night club when I visited my cousin in Minneapolis back in 84. I loved dancing to this and I didn't care if I didn't have the moves or if people laughed at me. I love dance music more than I love country music !
I can tell you why. The artist we had in the 1980's were all ADULTS with respect in music. No cursing at all. Today's music are young people with cursing and no respect to listeners. I'm 56 yrs old and believe me it's true.
Standout year 1984.14 years old.Playing with my dog after school in the backyard.Riding my bike pretending to be Knight Rider.Dukes of Hazard,Fame,Magnum PI,Solid Gold on tv at night.The year of The Karate Kid & Police Academy.Madonna,Springsteen,Michael Jackson,Rockwell,Prince,Howard Jones,Duran Duran on the radio alongside funky jams like this one.I'd go back in a heartbeat.
A stone classic! The youngsters today don't know what good music is and what a great time it was to be alive in the '80's. Lipps Inc., Parliament, The Gap Band, Rick James, James Brown, Con Funk Shun, The Brothers Johnson, Billy Preston, Kool & The Gang, Commodores, Ohio Players, Isley Brothers!!
What a list and many more these guys been goin since the 60s my folks were kids it's crazy.They could merge the style thru the time part of the foundation that also died in a Plane Crash killing Ottis Reading that his song Dock gets played alot and huge hit
You gotta' love this band , I mean they covered the 60's , 70's 80's and the 90's flawlessly with HITS AND STILL LOOK GOOD. .. I only wish my BAND COULD HAVE DONE IT, here's to the mighty BAR- KAYS !!!✌❤👊🎼🎸
This is fantastic in every way. It is like everything about 80s style distilled into a single video. From the music, to the fashion, to the sets and lighting. It's amazing.
Aaaaaaay THOSE were the days! If u weren't there man did y'all miss out!! Now my GRAND BABIES jam this talking bout oldies (long as grandma outta ear range😂)
I saw the Unsung episode on them. Heartbreaking at the beginning is an understatement...They also talked about how other artists would study them as well to create their own image in the 70s-80s...And they are still doing music. Love the song Grown Folks (2012)
Barkays are legends with so many hits. They deserve so so much more credit and shouldn’t have to perform anymore. I’m pretty sure they got burned with masters like everyone else back in these times.
Amazing group.Classic track.Not ever forgotten by many including myself.Yes I do remember the original group,and the members that died in a plain crash.All but one.Who didn't make it to the plain on time.I've sat back & have completely enjoyed all there songs through 5 decades.With each incarnation of the group over the years,adding so much to the Bar-Kays legacy.PS:Larry,Enjoy your retirement.Hell you've earned it.Much blessings to you & your family.Take care knowing the Bar-Kays will go on.Just say I'm a True fan.Well leave it at that.
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.
could not agree with you more time and this is coming from a OG we're back in the day they would play this song at 145am along with No Parking On The Dance Floor and then probably mostly finish it off with the Dazz Band Let It Whip but that was back in the day yeah we had so much fun dancing and pretty much in the neighborhood everybody know each other in a couple 3-4 bars that we would go to and pretty much and if you were dancing with a b**** at 1:50 a.m. you were pretty much getting some pussy I don't know how it is nowadays but I ain't been to a club and for ever but man back then it was the good old days nowadays m************ are shooting and stabbing and who knows what the f*** you b****** guy ship back in the day you got the crabs you got some damn lotion and you were good to go now they got this f****** herpes and HIV and syphilis man bro that's it's off the chain and if I do pick up a bedside double wrap that mother f***** don't believe it or not most of them b****** I hook up with I just tell him to give me a f****** handjob and send them on their way
+Tom Parkes hey Tom it's John getting back to your brother I don't know what state you're from but back in the day drinking age used to be 18 and I was a pretty big kid and we used to get into the bars when we were 16 the only thing we back then was smoke a little weed and f****** get drunk and our main priority was to get pussy LOL still the same way and like I said in my other message there's way too much s*** out there bro as far as STDs and you know another thing it was nice about back in the day what is if you dated somebody they pretty much stayed true to her man nowadays you turn your back and these b****** are f****** two or three your buddies at once so as far as hooking up with somebody seriously and going to happen brother I just basically hit that s*** and keep moving yeah bro I guess if me and you ever met we probably just have a quick little cocktail and reminisce about the good old days you know what I'm saying brother but now that I know that you're on this page although I'll definitely be hitting you up right about now I got to take my dog for a quick walk and I'm calling you today but your brother like I said I know you're on this page and I can tell you're a pretty cool cat I'll definitely hit you up so you have a blessed day and peace out brother
That's some true to life words brother,blown away that's exactly the words and the feelings of today I got. Definitely brother I'm from New Zealand so many stories could definitely reminisce on todays world its a tragic situation. Chur brother good to at least meet online one of few on here that actually makes sense about the good old days.Peace out to you too brother,no doubt we be checking in.Pleasure brother.
I just really love this song from back in the day which brings me back to my teenage years!.. This groove has that same flavor and beat as Midnight Star's "No Parking on The Dancefloor"
Look kiddies..no phones, no autotune...just talented people singing, dancing and having a great time..glad I was there to experience the best times ever! :)
I love the Barkays I especially love Freak Show. The Barkays are one of the baddest funkiest soul bands of our generation I am a 1970's baby and I was a teenager when this song Freak Show came out. I am still a Barkay's fan.
Cardi B don't know what to do with REAL MUSIC like this....keep on being vile on the daily. Let's go back to loving one another like back in this era!!
When I was eleven, my dance class did a routine to this song for our annual recital, complete with breakdancing moves by a select few of us. Man, this takes me back to those days, but only in my mind. At my age, I'd probably wind up in traction if I tried to bust a move now! Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.
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 ).
So back in 2008 i was at a club dancing, and the music fades and they play this song. I swear i fucken lost my shit!! I dont think ive ever gone that hard at a club.
My boyfriend jimping in his chair for a couple seconds. 😂😂😂😂😂 If I heard this song before, I forgotten it. I do remember in HS in early half of '90s borrowing the two Bar-Kays 45s my father had and one had Do It, and the other one was Feels Like I'm Falling In Love. Had not heard those in forever. ( or maybe it was on same 45, I forgot ). Decided to explore more of their music. That what brought me to here.
This song is by far the best of the three though. Should have crossed over more, along with Sexomatic, the 2nd single. That and "Can I" by Cashmere would have gone over well with mostly-white pop radio if they'd just given it a chance.
I got to ROADIE and meet and hang with the best funk band in 1983 on the Dangerous tour, all the guys were friendly and took time to talk with me after the sound. It was especially great to meet Larry Dodson and James Alexander, the only original left that didn't die in the Crash with Otis Redding. He was in Memphis Tennessee in the studio, got a autographed pair of Michael (Buck Board) Smiths autographed sticks. And being a drummer now for 41 years and can play all of their songs it means a lot.
They had a pool hall bar in our neighborhood back in the early 1980's with all the top Bar Kay songs on the juke box it, they would get played non stop. Great band with an excellent rhythm. My favorite song is Proposition, proposition, I just rebought the CD so I can listen to it in my '95 Cadillac with the Bose sound system, Neighbors were asking what band that is, they want to get the CD
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…
Just heard this song FREAK SHOW is the name of it. Good skating rink song MIDNIGHT STAR is a good group of singer. OPERATOR is my favorite from MIDNIGHT STAR
How in the hell have I never seen this video? I grew up in the 80's w/ MTV & watching 'Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo' on HBO@ my g-ma's. And I was seriously obsessed. I just bought 'Breakin', so feeling all nostalgic. Didn't know "Ozone" passed away. Breaks my heart 💔. My dusty ass is breakin' out some moves for the man!
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. 😎
what an amazing history; the original bar kays were the band for the great otis reading and unfortunately most of them passed away in the tragic plane wreck. what a fun time and a fun group. party and dancing.
gads i MISS the 80s...SO MUUCH FUNNNNN.....anyone who was young and into it back then...knows ..this song..says it all man. As long as you just wanted to have fun and not bother anyone..you were welcome..i suddenly have a need to watch breakin...i wonder why the 80s still rule
ANYBODY FROM SUR CALIFORNIA FROM THE CITY OF WHITTIER TO EAST LOS ANGELES THAT CRUZED WHITTIER BLVD AND FRIDAYS TILL SUNDAYS HAD TO HEAR THIS SONG AT LEAST A DOZEN TIMES AND IT STILL HITS HARD
Funk music will never die out as long as theres hardcore fans like us keeping it alive
This song will forever be a part of my life because of the movie “Breakin’”!!!!
On Gawd

The most UNDERRATED funk band in history. Think I'm lying...check their total number of Gold and platinum records....and longevity!
They 'lifted' more grooves than an elevator full of records. Just saying. They are definitely one of the best cover bands in history.
No lies detected. One of my favs EASILY
Everybody's entitled to an opinion even the Sun comes out
ABSOLUTELY 💯% RIGHT !!!! 🤘✌️
They were a big influence on Prince and Rick James....

love this track, brings me back. I aint from the 80's, but this song is nice. What a classic in my book.
I got to ROADIE and meet and hang with the best funk band in 1983 on the Dangerous tour, all the guys were friendly and took time to talk with me after the sound. It was especially great to meet Larry Dodson and James Alexander, the only original left that didn't die in the Crash with Otis Redding. He was in Memphis Tennessee in the studio, got a autographed pair of Michael (Buck Board) Smiths autographed sticks. And being a drummer now for 41 years and can play all of their songs it means a lot.
It was Ben Cauley that was the only survivor from the plane crash...
They had a pool hall bar in our neighborhood back in the early 1980's with all the top Bar Kay songs on the juke box it, they would get played non stop. Great band with an excellent rhythm. My favorite song is Proposition, proposition, I just rebought the CD so I can listen to it in my '95 Cadillac with the Bose sound system,
Neighbors were asking what band that is, they want to get the CD
If you ever wanted to know what a real front man is, then there you go. Love you guys, where are you when we need you. Please put out a new CD.
They still preform concerts. They are comming to my town next weekend.
HOW MANY times have I danced and rocked the floor to this???!!!!!!!!!!!
I roller skated back in the 80's to this song ! Love it
Still a bad jam in lockdown 2021. Typical Bar-Kays. Snatching someone else's groove and pumpin' it up even more. Have an Old Skool Day.

REAL Memphis FUNK.
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…

Wow, Crazy fun times⚘
A favorite song from Barkays ... ( Freakshow on the Dance Floor ) 🎹🎼🎤
Mine too... #GetUpAndDanceWithMe!
Best song from The Bar Kays
How in the hell have I never seen this video? I grew up in the 80's w/ MTV & watching 'Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo' on HBO@ my g-ma's. And I was seriously obsessed. I just bought 'Breakin', so feeling all nostalgic. Didn't know "Ozone" passed away. Breaks my heart 💔. My dusty ass is breakin' out some moves for the man!
Great song back in the day & it's still a great song today. 💕
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. 😎
Happy birthday Larryyyyy !!! Bar-Kays Love for ever
1984 was the best of times. Freak show playing at all the clubs was sure to get everyone on the dance floor.
Freakin' Funk forever!!! Timeless Funk Classic music... iconic.💯💕
Midnight Star.... NO PARKING ON THE DANCE FLOOR.....same Producers
This is sure nuf the 80s loving it miss those days go mr.larry 😘😘😘
what an amazing history; the original bar kays were the band for the great otis reading and unfortunately most of them passed away in the tragic plane wreck. what a fun time and a fun group. party and dancing.
last night, I saw them both perform live and they're all cool...
It would been awesome if Van Damme were in this video, him dancing in the crowd doing that shoulder move lol
