Frank Zappa and the Mother's of Invention "Billie the Mountain"
The song is a half hour long. It's about Billie the Mountain and his wife Ethel the tree. He finally receives a royalty check from all those years of postcards. He tells his wife that they are going on vacation to New York, they live in the L.A. area
The tipical zany Zappa chaos ensues.
I also love Alice's Restaurant by Arlo Guthrie
Armchair Queen
