"Freaks" is a song by alternative rock group Live, which was released as the second single from their 1997 album, Secret Samadhi.
The song was not released as a single in the US, but still reached #5 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart[2] and #13 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart.[2] The single was included as a bonus disc on some copies of the album Secret Samadhi in Australia.
The cover art for the single is from the song's music video, which was directed by Paul Cunningham.[3] The video stars British actor Peter Guinness and features Live, dressed in red shirts and tuxedos, performing the song in a club, where the only drink served appears to be milk. Guinness plays a newcomer to the bar who sits drinking black coffee and refuses the attempts of another patron to get him to try the milk. After a scuffle the newcomer tries to leave but is subdued by the other patrons who force him to drink the milk from a champagne bottle.
The song reached #60 on the UK Singles Chart,[4] #80 in The Netherlands and #36 in Australia.[5]
