Wikipedia

  1. Freak Out

    Freak Out is a single released by 311. It was on the album Music. This studio single was released in 1992, prior to the release of Music. All three songs appearing on this single have co-written lyrics by Douglas Vincent "SA" Martinez and Nick Hexum. The music for "Freak Out" was co-written by Chad Sexton and Nick Hexum. The songs are the same as on the album Music, however, at the end of "Freak Out", there is a short answering machine message that is about 10 seconds long. Also, since "Hydroponic" is not following "Unity" as on the full-length album, the intro to the song is not mixed in with the end of the song prior to it.
