Its members were Dhu Moraes, Edyr Duque (1946 — 2019), Leiloca Neves, Lidoka Martuscelli (1950 — 2016), Regina Chaves and Sandra Pêra.

A pop version of the stars of vaudeville and cabaret. This is how the sextet of dancers and singers who were very successful in the disco scene in the 1970s was defined. The group was born at the time of the soap opera Dancin' Days, by the musical producer Nelson Motta, who took advantage of the talent of six waitresses from his nightclub in Rio. Starting with short musical numbers between tables, singing young guard and rock hits, As Frenéticas began to sell out shows and soon became a national phenomenon.

Abra suas asas
Solte suas feras
Caia na gandaia
Entre nessa festa!...

E leve com você
Seu sonho mais lou
Ou ou ou louco

Eu quero ver esse corpo
Lindo, leve e solto!...

A gente as vezes
Sente, sofre, dança
Sem querer dançar...

Na nossa festa
Vale tudo
Vale ser alguém
Como eu!
Como você!...

Abra suas asas
Solte suas feras
Caia na gandaia
Entre nessa festa!...

E leve com você
Seu sonho mais lou
Ou ou ou louco
Eu quero ver esse corpo
Lindo, leve e solto!...

A gente as vezes
Sente, sofre, dança
Sem querer dançar...

Na nossa festa
Vale tudo
Vale ser alguém
Como eu!
Como você!...

A gente as vezes
Sente, sofre, dança
Sem querer dançar...

Na nossa festa
Vale tudo
Vale ser alguém
Como eu!
Como você!...

Dance bem
Dance mal
Dance sem parar
Dance bem
Dance até
Sem saber dançar...(2x)

Na nossa festa
Vale tudo
Vale ser alguém
Como eu!
Como você!...(3x)

Dance bem
Dance mal
Dance sem parar
Dance bem
Dance até
Sem saber dançar...(4x)

Dance bem!
Dance mal!
Dance bem!

Mas, dance bem
Dance mal
Dance sem parar
Dance bem
Dance até
Sem saber dançar...(4x)

Na nossa festa
