Because I can't just read something like this and not look it up:
John Frederick Lampe's 1737's parody opera The Dragon of Wantley. Which I would definitely have studied ages ago if I'd known there was a song about farting dragons.

Bonus points for the opera apparently having pointed messages mocking Walpole's taxation policies.
