The Eggman aka The Original Eggman

Though there certainly were (and are) persons using "The Eggman" handle or nickname that predate his claim, Steve Eggleston laid claim to the name in 1964 at age 16, predating the Beatles song by 3 years. First as a HAM and CB Radio "handle" and later when he would sit in as guest DJ on a friend's morning country music show.

His signature opening was the first thing a lot of Farmer's wives heard in the morning, right after the National Anthem.

''"Good morning Basset Virginia and all points South. It's Five A.M. and you've got the milkman at the door and The Eggman on your radio. Now let's break down on Foggy Mountain with Flatt and Scruggs." ''
