Get Me Bodied would have been a great choice for a single! It's somehow grown-up and serious and sounds big and nasty (so far as B can do 'serious') whereas Green Light is just thin and jittery.
And it has the amazing seven-minute extended version complete w/ dance moves. "Do the Naomi Campbell walk! Naomi Campbell walk!"
As you say 'Freakum Dress' would have been even better - the chorus has this immense spiralling gravitational pull to it. And 'Suga Mama' too - when she gets buckwild at the end ("Take my CREDIT CARDS! Sit on my LAP NOW!" it is awe-inspiring.

'Green Light' is OK but not much more.
