Freedom Of Choice ~ Devo

Freedom of Choice is the third studio album by the American new wave band Devo, released in May 1980 on Warner Bros. Records.
According to the band's commentary on The Complete Truth About De-Evolution DVD, the lyrics of "Whip It" began as a tongue-in-cheek anthem for then-president Jimmy Carter, and were also inspired by Norman Vincent Peale's 1952 book The Power of Positive Thinking and the "can do philosophy" espoused within. Devo co-songwriter and bass guitarist Gerald Casale also told Songfacts that the lyrics were written by him "as an imitation of Thomas Pynchon's parodies in his book Gravity's Rainbow". The lyric of "That's Pep!" is based on an early 20th-century poem by Grace G. Bostwick.
