"Fred Come to Bed" is a song recorded by German eurodance act E-Rotic. It was released in March 1995 as the second single from the album Sex Affairs. Written and composed by David Brandes and John O'Flynn, the song hit success in German-speaking countries where it was a top ten hit. In Germany, the song was ranked for 18 weeks and was a top three hit. In Switzerland, it hit number six and remained in the top 50 for 16 weeks. In Austria, it fell off the top 30 after 14 weeks and a peak at number five. In France and Belgium (Flanders), the song was a top 20 hit, and in December 1995 the song reached number 90 in the United Kingdom.

The song was re-released the same year in German as "Fred Komm Ins Bett!" under the parody alias Fred Feuerstein. The lyrics were changed to be about the Hanna-Barbera cartoon The Flintstones.

On 15 September 2006, Eurodance group Shanadoo released a cover version in the Japanese language under the title "My Samurai" (Germany), achieving moderate success in some European countries.

The fantasy remix is included in the Sex Affairs album. The song also appeared on E-Rotic's compilations Greatest Tits (The Best of) and Dancemania presents E-ROTIC Megamix.
