"The Creeps" is a song by London-based electronic dance music band Freaks. The original version, titled "The Creeps (You're Giving Me)", appeared on Freaks' 2003 album, The Man Who Lived Underground.[1] A set of remixes reached number 97 on the UK Singles Chart in December 2004.

Following a bidding war, the song was signed to Ministry of Sound in 2007, and a new version titled "The Creeps (Get on the Dancefloor)" was produced, combining the Vandalism remix with a new vocal by Freaks member Stella Attar.[3] This version went on to reach number nine on the UK Singles Chart in September 2007 and also charted internationally.

Music video

edit

The music video shows a male security guard who works in a mortuary. As he patrols the mortuary, three female corpses with vampyric elongated canines come to life and chase him through the facility. He is cornered at a locked door, but as they attack the scene changes to leave him on his own. He returns to the security centre to watch the CCTV replay where he sees the truth. The three girls were real, and are shown sensually attacking him with their canines.
