CHIC - LE FREAK (1978) | FIRST TIME REACTION 

This was playing in the rollerskating rink. It's just a fun song about having fun dancing.

@@jklang7217 Have to say I'm not a big fan of disco but I know it was very popular in the clubs and elsewhere. As you say, it was a fun song and here in the UK it was fun to dance to, part of life in the 1970s! 😊😊

The EARLY 70's. Late 70's were ROCK.

Thank you

There's a documentary on YT entitled Studio 54: Behind The Scenes Documentary, very eye opening! Plenty famous people frequented that place, for example Rod Stewart, Michael Jackson, John Travolta and of course Freddie Mercury! It was only open from April 1977 to January 1980 but there's plenty stories about it! 😲

I'd like to see George and Patrick react to some Grace Jones (maybe her version of Demolition Man).

Yes! I've heard members of Chic telling this story over the years! So the part of the song where they sing "Ahhhhh... Freak Out!" is them referring to their reaction when the doorman refused to let them through the velvet rope and enter the club -- and what they were REALLY thinking at that time was "Ahhhhh... Fkkk You!"

Nile is a legend and I've got to add Bernard Edwards, who is a legend as well. Both Edwards & Rodgers produced/wrote songs for Diana Ross, Sister Sledge, Debbie Harry & Sheila and B. Devotion. They've each also worked independently with Duran Duran. Edwards also produced: The Power Station, Rod Stewart, ABC, Robert Palmer, Jody Watley, Adam Ant, Joe Cocker, Johnny Mathis, Missing Persons, Platinum Blonde and others.

@@billw715 Yes, you are correct, I should have mentioned Bernard Edwards as well!

Marcus, yes, it was a dance. Pretty fun to do.

Yes would love to see that!

Hi there, they did a reaction to this song in September 2022, the video was from 1982.😊

George has remarked on several reactions that he "can't dance" or "isn't the best dancer." IF that's so, it's only because his foot-work might not be the strongest; he's got the head, shoulders, & torso moves on fleek! So personally, I'm not buying it for even one minute, his claims of lacking dance skills. LOL

@@KandKs_GG Agree Elizabethe! He has the moves for sure!

Good suggestion Anne. I also wish they would do a live chat format sometime - I think it would really boost their numbers. I want to see them go far! Perhaps it is because of their location??

@@Jules-um4yy It's certainly a good idea, Jules, I take part in live chats with a couple of other channels I'm subscribed to, they are not reaction channels but it's really fun. Hopefully they will be reaching 50k subscribers soon, their channel has been going now for over two years so I do hope it will continue to rise steadily. I've been subscribed to their channel since January 2021, I think it's a great channel, they work so hard on it and they do some really fantastic reactions. I put in for a special request in December, thinking it would be reacted to in early January but unfortunately I've heard nothing, maybe they've been too busy with other things, so I keep hoping I will hear something soon! All the best. 😊😊

@@annemaclean6634 Hi Anne, I read your other comment to Frank's too. I join in on a couple of livestream reaction channels and they are really fun. The hosts will take requests then do a poll and everyone votes and they play songs and respond. People can also make donations that pop up with their names. It makes the subscribers and the creators feel more connected to one another and have a good time chatting with each other, having a good laugh and support one another. The people are from all over the world. It is a good way for Patrick and George to make some extra money too! Regarding the heart notifications, I see channels with many more subscribers still acknowledge the comments especially if under 100 comments but often many more too. These are channels that George and Patrick have mentioned before so I would hope they see that. We are trying to encourage them and they are asking us questions, requests etc. It is important to show appreciation for the followers doing so, taking care of the channel as you mentioned. I think they have all the ingredients of success and I know they are disappointed that views have been down but it is the same on other channels too. People have gotten back to life after covid and they move on if they are not getting something from the channel. I do hope they do the request you put in back in December. I thought it odd that they did not wish their followers Happy Holidays unless I missed it (I was worried about them) or honor any artists that have passed recently. That is unlike them. Perhaps they have some other challenges going on (they are young and learning) but they certainly have loving subscribers that would understand if they just let us know. In the meantime we will continue to support them and will celebrate when they hit the 50,000 mark and beyond! They are dear to me as I lost my own two brothers suddenly (who also loved all this music) so Patrick and George are filling a bit of that huge void for me right now. I know you care a lot for them too. Thank you for your comments. It is good that we can communicate like this.☺

@@Jules-um4yy Hi Jules, first of all, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss, that is so tragic and I send you my sincerest condolences. Thank you for your lovely long message, I'm so glad you read my message and we look at things the same way, don't we? I've been on a few livestreams but not reaction ones. I have seen them and I think they are a great idea. No, you didn't miss George and Patrick wishing us Happy New Year etc, it didn't happen and I have to say I was disappointed because they did it in 2021 and 2022, but maybe they were just busy. The thing is, in 2021 and part of 2022, we had lockdown, restrictions because of Covid and I think the guys had more time to spend on their channel. I was getting frequent messages from them on Patreon and it was great, and you just felt part of the channel and that you were making a valued contribution. It's the same with the red-hearted comments, it makes you feel good that your comment is appreciated and again you feel valued. However, things have changed dramatically, life getting back to normal from Covid, and the guys resuming their normal lives. Unfortunately that means they don't have the same time to spend on their channel, so when you're used to something, you really miss it when it stops, ie the messages just stopped and I hardly get any now, and I really miss it. As I said, I'm still waiting to hear about my request, I just thought it would be a nice start to 2023, however, I'm sure they will contact me soon. Yes, I do care about them, they remind me of my nephews, I don't see much of them as they are in Manchester and I'm in Scotland so I love being part of BroAction. I was worried about George and Patrick over the Christmas and New Year period as there were no reactions, nothing happening, I sent a few messages but I haven't heard anything. As long as they are okay, that's the main thing. You and I, Jules, along with thousands of others, are very loyal supporters, been part of this channel for two years and we just want their channel to continue to succeed, ie get a lot more subscribers. Thanks for your comment, again my sincere condolences for your huge loss, please take care and my very best wishes to you.😊😊

@@annemaclean6634 Thank you so much Anne for your response and condolences. 🦋By the way, one of my best friends is from Glasgow. She came over to the states when she was 21 with her cousin. ☺

I guess I only learned the P.G. dance moves to it. Lol

Love that band Frank. I am hoping they see requests in these comments but they don't tag us with notification hearts anymore so not sure.

@@Jules-um4yy Exactly. I’ve felt for awhile now that they don’t bother with the comments anymore. I know it must be time consuming for them and they probably just focus on the patron group of people who pay. I’m not one of them. I’m to the point now that I’m done requesting any reactions from them. It’s a waste of time. I do wish them luck with their channel and really enjoy their reactions. And I’ll continue to visit to see the latest song they’re reacted to, but I’m done making requests because I’m convinced that they don’t read these comments anymore. So… there’s no point. I remember when they used to at least acknowledge a comment with a heart emoji, but they’ve stopped with that. They continue to ask that people make comments and suggestions, but not sure why if they don’t bother reading them anymore.

@@M00159 Frank, I found your comment very interesting, as I've been wondering about this myself recently. From what I can remember, they stopped 'red hearting' comments in early 2022, it's such a shame. Can I just say, I'm on Patreon and they don't just focus on us, I can assure you, I donated for a special request in December, hoping they would do the reaction in early January (nice start to 2023, I thought!) but I've heard nothing, no acknowledgement, no reply to my messages, so, I'm assuming they're busy with other commitments. I hope they do still read all the comments but like you, I'm not sure. You're right, reading comments, 'red hearting' them, answering questions etc is time consuming, but isn't that what running a reaction channel is all about? I love this channel, I've been subscribed since January 2021, I've seen lots of great reactions and I think George and Patrick do a fantastic job, and I suppose it must be difficult dealing with everything. The thing is it's really gratifying to have your comments liked, questions answered, recommendations acted on etc, so, we'll see what happens this year. 😊

@@Jules-um4yy Hi Jules, just been reading your comment and also the comment by Frank Batiste. I've replied to his comment and I just want to say that I agree with what you've said. It's been months since they 'red hearted' our comments or replied to comments and you're absolutely right, we don't know if they're reading them or not but I really hope they do. I love this channel, I love George and Patrick's reactions to some great music, I can appreciate that reactions etc takes a lot of time and effort but surely that's all part of running a channel? Oh well, maybe things will change, we'll see.😊

@@annemaclean6634 Beautifully said. I’m glad I’m not a patron then. If I’m donating to the channel and still not even getting an acknowledgment, let alone a request granted, I’d be disappointed. I wish them all the best too, and I also really enjoy watching their reactions , but, as you said, part of the responsibility of having a channel ( I presume), is acknowledging your followers through the comment section. I made a request for a song on another guy’s channel once, and I was shocked when he not only granted my request, but read my entire request , mentioned my full name and then did the request right then and there. And afterwards, he also thanked me in the video for the recommendation. Now I don’t expect that to really even happen in the first place, but it was such a thrill for me. I guess it’s about changing one’s expectations.

yeah bc of Nile Rodgers.
