"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. In 2006, it was remixed by Australian duo Vandalism; their remix became a club hit and "the biggest download in [dance music retailer] djdownload.com's history".[2][3][4]

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.
