"Freddy Kreuger" [sic] is the fifth single by Surrey-based rock band Reuben, and the second single taken from their debut album Racecar Is Racecar Backwards.
The song's title refers to Freddy Krueger, the horror protagonist from Wes Craven's slasher film A Nightmare on Elm Street, but is misspelled.
The single was released on CD and 7" vinyl format, and reached #53 in the UK charts.
It also made the #1 spot on the Chain With No Name independent chart, and Zane Lowe made it his Radio 1 single of the week.
It was Reuben's first track to be playlisted on XFM and their first track to be played on Mary Anne Hobbs’ Rock Show.
