Freedom of choice Is what you got Freedom of choice. Then if you got it, you don't want it Seems to be a rule of thumb Don't be tricked by what you see You got two ways to go. I'll say it again, in the land of the free Use your freedom of choice Freedom of choice. Freedom of choice Is what you got Freedom of choice. In ancient Rome There was a poem About a dog Who found two bones He peeked at one He licked the other He went in circles Then he dropped dead. Title track from the 1980’s album (3rd one in their career) is also the last single from it. "Freedom Of Choice" Track Info. Written By Gerald Casale & Mark Mothersbaugh. Recorded At Record Plant, Hollywood, California. Release Date December 29, 1980.
With Freedom of Choice, Devo completed their transition into a full-fledged synth-pop group, producing arguably their most musically cohesive effort in the process. Everything is played with a cool, polished precision that mirrors the stylized uniformity of the band's visuals; the dissonance is more subdued than in the past, and the uptight rhythms are no longer jarring, instead locking the band into a rigidly even keel
On May 16th, 1980 DEVO released their third studio album Freedom of Choice, an album that saw the quirky post-punk band evolve into a more synth-pop driven outfit, while still using trace amounts of stylized guitars. The album was also the debut of the band’s trademark red energy dome helmets, as seen on the record’s sleeve.
