The year? 1995! And Adina Howard was getting the sexy party started with her one-hit wonder “Freak Like Me.” While the song is riddled with West Coast livin’/LBC cliches, it’s hard to deny that Freak is a classic ’90s R&B slow jam. Highlights: That hooky chorus with the girls yelling “PUMP! PUMP!” The ending refrain of “One to the two, to the two, to the three/Adina, do you want to get freaky with me?” as well the video featuring silver-clad dancers humping a wading pool. (Plus, check out the girl with the nails. You know she’s gonna get freaky.)
