Le Freak
In 1978, Chic wrote the song “Le Freak,” which instantly hit the charts. Most people don’t pay much attention to its meaning because it’s a famous party song and because it is entertaining. However, it has a deeper significance for them. If you argue that the hit isn’t meaningful, you’re being generous. It actually talks about Chic’s guitarist and bassist being refused passage to New York’s famed nightclub called Studio 54. After figuring out their names were not on the club guest list, it seemed that the security warned them to “f off.” This occurrence served as Chic’s inspiration for the “freak out!” line.

Smoke On The Water
A rocket was shot in a casino when Frank Zappa was performing, and he came up with the characteristic guitar riff that has been known all over the world since then. As soon as the fire started, the casino’s structure was completely destroyed. Roger Glover came up with its “Smoke on the Water” title after observing smoke pouring across Lake Geneva. It is a smart play on words that captures the essence of the piece.
