Zappa explains the meaning behind ''[[Call Any Vegetable]]'' in ''[[Absolutely Free: The Complete Libretto]]'': ''"The best clue to this song might lie in the fact that people who are inactive in a society ... people who do not live up to their responsibilities are vegetables. I feel that these people, even if they are inactive, apathetic or unconcerned at this point, can be motivated toward a more useful sort of existence. I believe that if you call any vegetable it will respond to you."''
