Freddy, My Love

Freddy, My Love is a song written by Jim Jacobs and Warren Casey for the 1971 musical Grease. The song was largely derived from the 1956 hit, "Eddie My Love", by The Teen Queens. Music writer Scot Miller described the song as being "closely based on "Eddie, My Love"", while "also slyly parodying" "I Met Him on a Sunday" by the Shirelles and "Be My Baby" by Ronnie Spector. Miller states:

"Freddy, My Love" is a song about early feminism, about women being sexual and aggressive. But it's also about the materialism of the 1950s, a mindset in which money is better than sex, and gifts are the only true expression of love.
