"Billy the Mountain" is a Frank Zappa song first made available on the album Just Another Band from L.A. in 1972.
Billy the Mountain, a typical mountain which poses for postcards, lives between the cities of Rosamond, California and Gorman, California with his wife Ethell, a tree.
The story begins when a man in a checkered double-knit suit drives up in a car leased from the Bob Spreen car dealership in Downey, to deliver Billy's royalty checks from posing for postcards.
Ethel was a tree(looks like the bush at the peak)

I think he would be 73 now... If he were still alive. It would have been interesting to have an interview with him at 73 years of age.
