There's a twisted reference to Charles Ives at the end of "Call Any
Vegetable." One of the things that Ives is noted for is his use of
multiple colliding themes- the musical illusion of having several marching
bands marching through each other. In our low-rent version, the band
splits into three parts, playing "The Star-Spangled Banner," "God Bless
America" and "America The Beautiful" all at the same time, yielding an
amateur version of an Ives collision. Unless listeners pay attention in
that one spot- there are only a few bars of it, they might think it was a
'mistake.'
