Posted by Thom on Jun 19, 2008 in All, Blog, Featured • 30 comments
I came across a series of music joke images over time- I was unable to find the originals so I remade the ones I could remember, as well as made up a few of my own. If you enjoy puns or play on words/music, you’ll get a kick out of these! I’ll post more as I find them!

Nerd culture need not be extended toward musicians through the means of cheap “inside jokes” with poor musical puns.

Hahaha, these were good, but I didn’t quite understand the last one, only ever having played Piano which generally only deals with trebble and bass clefs.

Such a marvelous twist on the old pundit of making music into a language all of its own! Thank you so much for this opportunity to once again be reminded of just how uniquely humourous we geeky musicians, composers, and arrangers can be! While I, too, have seen others similar to these in the past, yours are absolutely refreshing, mainly because you had the forte to publish them!

LOVE it!!!!! I love the “hold me”! you pretty much rock!
Tied for favorite w/ the hold me has to be the “c clef. c clef run”
[Reply]
gosh,
these are the best!
of course the usual flute player would love the ‘get high’ one.
*cheezy smile.*
ive seen one that is a doctor pulling a baby of of a woman playing the ‘umbilical CHORD.’
its great.
the best music pun ever: Show me a piano thrown into an army trench, and I’ll show you A-flat major.
and then theres the A-flat minor (‘miner’) one where you throw a piano into a mine.
and one of my other faves: when carrying your instrument, you better C sharp or you’ll B flat!
:)
got plenty more where they came from.
keep up the good work .
ohh!! and : countertenor = singing waitor. x

Too hot to Handel.

my school’s choir just got shirts that say “Without Concert Choir The World Would B flat” with the key signature for B flat.
I have to explain that to every non-music nerd whenever I wear that shirt =/
