Detailed Description Containing Key Facts: "Here Comes The Judge" is a novelty soul/comedy hit by the veteran African-American comedian and entertainer Pigmeat Markham, released as a single in 1968. This track is based on one of Markham's popular vaudeville and television comedy routines, where he would portray a judge. The song features Markham's distinctive spoken-word delivery, complete with catchphrases and ad-libs, set over a funky, driving rhythm section with prominent horns. It's an energetic and humorous track that capitalized on Markham's comedic persona and the popular "judge" theme of the time, demonstrating the crossover appeal of spoken-word comedy with contemporary R&B and funk music.
