This is "Ho-Hum" by Sam Lanin's Dance Ensemble, which was released 2 July 1931. The songs starts off normal, but then the lyrics start at 1:17, and the deliberately cliché love song lyrics are delivered by a vocalist who sounds like he is falling asleep and really couldn't care less.
It does seem to be an early example of a pop song making fun of the predictable nature of pop song lyrics.
It is not, however, the first parody song. Parody songs had already been around for years (there was even a Weird Al style parody of the 1905 song "In the Shade of the Old Apple Tree").
