FZ liner notes on "[[Freak Out!]]" (1966): "'[[You Didn’t Try To Call Me]]' was written to describe a situation in which [[Pamela Zarubica]] found herself last spring. ([[Wowie Zowie]] is what she says when she’s not grouchy... who would guess it could inspire a song? No one would guess. None of you are perceptive enough. Why are you reading this?) The formal structure of '[[You Didn’t Try To Call Me]]' is not revolutionary, but it is interesting. You don’t care."
