"Freaks Come Out at Night" is a song by American hip hop group Whodini.
The first initial thought was really making a song competitive with that Pat Benatar stuff that was out.
[The song] was so poppy but the hook was kind of weak, so I started looking at the funk bands and their use of "freak."
[1]Jason Elias of AllMusic wrote, "The just-as-good 'Freaks Come Out at Night' has the guys talking about nocturnal freaks with vivid lyrics and a little too much inside information.
"[1] The video features appearances from UTFO and Run-DMC, who are seen leaving a tour bus in Baltimore,[5] and future rapper Jermaine Dupri, then a dancer for Whodini.
