Well if you mean why it was called the "
Hernia Rap," that's because Jon first started reciting it on the Monkees tour as a way for Al to change into his costume for..."Living with a Hernia."
Or if you mean why it's referred to as a "Rap," probably because it's not necessarily a song but just a spoken word piece.
Keep in mind of course that it's just a casual name for it. Like the so-called "Fat Jam" at the "end" of concerts, I don't think it was ever really officially titled.
