"OK Fred" is a song by Jamaican singer-songwriter John Holt.
[2] Errol Dunkley stated that the song is about an up-town girl who falls for a down-town guy who is a non-conformist in the way he dresses and wants to become care-free like him.
[3] AllMusic gave a different version, saying the song describes the singer's prowess and technique with the opposite sex.
[2] The song is considered a cross over hit due to being by a Jamaican artist but appealing to a white audience.
[4] Holt's version features Vin Gordon on trombone.
