Lots of earlier ones cited below. Also Woody Guthrie (which was the Subterranean Homesick Blues prototype). But what about Gilbert and Sullivan patter songs (like Modern Major General)? There are probably ones before that, too.

My advice to you is to get beyond RP once and awhile and test the waters (just don't do it during this song). Better yet, let's get more hiphop here! Besides, what's wrong with talking about your genitals?

Frank played a gig at Ravinia on the norhside of Chicago in I think 1968. Anyway, I noticed him at the stage door on the way out and I asked for his autograph, which he provided on the sleeve of my shirt.

A brilliant artist. What would he be doing now?
