X The Album Puns

It's on the album "The Roof is For Hire"

... so I sent my niece downstairs with the Nirvana album.

Now that I listen to the whole album, I never leave the house.

The last song on Joni Mitchell's 1969 album "Clouds", is "Both Sides Now". If you listen to that album on vinyl, by the time she sings the lyrics "I've looked at clouds from both sides now", you too, will have looked at "Clouds" from both sides now.

For the album cover.

The man replies, "No, but I've got a sting album."

'Till Lindemann has finished the lyrics.

Explanation: Till Lindemann is the vocalist of the band, they usually have lyrics in their songs so they will have to be finished to be included in the album.

A horse is sitting at home, watching MTV...

He's watching a heavy metal music video, and the guitarist plays an amazing solo. The horse says "that looks amazing, I want to do that!"

The horse goes to the phone book, looks up a music teacher and calls him. "Hi, I'd like to learn to play guitar." Says the horse.

"Sure," says the man on the phone. "Just come to your lesson and we'll get you started."

"There's just one problem," says the horse. "I'm a horse."

"Not to worry," the man says. "We have new state of the art technology to teach horses. You'll be playing like a pro in no time."

Sure enough, the horse gets really good at the guitar and he can play that amazing solo. He wants to show his friends, so he picks up the phone and calls chicken.

"Hey Chicken, come over!" he says. Chicken comes over, watches horse play the guitar and thinks it's pretty cool. Chicken watches the music video and says "hey, that drum part is pretty cool, I want to learn to play that."

Chicken goes to the phone book, looks up a music teacher and calls him. "Hi, I'd like to learn to play the drums." Says the chicken.

"Sure," says the man on the phone. "Just come to your lesson and we'll get you started."

"There's just one problem," says the chicken. "I'm a chicken."

"Not to worry," the man says. "We have new state of the art technology to teach chickens. You'll be playing like a pro in no time."

Sure enough, the chicken gets really good and begins to jam with the horse. Eventually, they think that something's missing. They watch the video again and realize they need a bass guitarist. They call their friend Cow and show them what they've been up to. Cow thinks it's pretty cool, and wants to learn how to play the bass guitar.

Cow goes to the phone book, looks up a music teacher and calls him. "Hi, I'd like to learn to play bass guitar." Says the cow.

"Sure," says the man on the phone. "Just come to your lesson and we'll get you started."

"There's just one problem," says the cow. "I'm a cow."

"Not to worry," the man says. "We have new state of the art technology to teach cows. You'll be playing like a pro in no time."

Sure enough, the cow gets really good at the bass and the animals have a nice band going.

One day, while they're practicing, a man walks by and hears them. He goes up to the animals and says "hey, you guys are pretty good! I'm from a record label, I'd like to sign you!"

The band records an album, puts out some singles and becomes a massive success.

I bought my sister a copy of the album "Plans" by Death Cab For Cutie for her birthday.

She asked what I had gotten her, and all I said was, "Don't worry, I've got 'Plans' for you!"

I literally told her what her gift was and she had no idea! Except when I finally gave it to her, she got the joke and punched me. :(

The fourth album is often the best.

Credit to the original submitters. Thanks for keeping me funny, dads.

EDIT: Black Sabbath, Paranoid, Master of Reality

A Smashing Pumpkins track started playing. (Mayonnaise)

My dad perked up and said he liked it. I told him it was on the same album as "Disarm".

He paused for a moment before sheepishly smiling and said "Disarm, or dat arm?"

Thanks for the laugh this morning, dad.

The Joy Division song was in turn named after a novel by J. G. Ballard. This makes 'The Atrocity Exhibition' the book the song the album is named after is named after.

Driving in the car on the way to the mall while listening to The Weeknd's new album when I turn and say:

Oh, I did a little research and discovered where he was born.

Her: Really? Where?

Me: A little place called Frisatsun.

Her: Where is that?

Me: it's on the weekend!

She punched me immediately.

Some background, I'm taking Listening to Jazz this semester to fill my arts credit. Last week the professor talked about musicians Miles Davis and John Coltrane, and their albums Kind of Blue and A Love Supreme.

During class he was trying to explain to us what the difference between different kinds of jazz were. So he pulled all the students wearing blue and asked each student he pulled to describe their shade of blue. I was picked and when it was my turn, I just looked at him and said "My shirt looks... Kind of Blue" referencing a Miles Davis' album. My professor double face palmed and was so disgusted by me I almost felt bad for laughing. He threatened to give me a 3 page essay on why that was the worst answer I could've given.

Apparently, when asked if they'd buy any of the renowned group's albums, a Swede wouldn't. But, a Norwegian would.

EDITED for geographical nomenclature.

Years ago I used to use a LexisNexis database of companies that would give corporate information like name, address, and general business description. While most of them were pretty bland, there were a bunch of them with some really cheesy puns, and over a few years I built quite a collection.

Today I share with you "NEXIS IS RIDICULOUS.txt":

Youtuber: "So Billie Joe are you going back to Russia?"

Billie Joe Armstrong: "I'm going back to Russia, for sure."

Youtuber: "When is the next album?"

B.J.A: "I don't know. I have a few songs but I don't wanna Russian!"

My buddies and I have a group chat going. One guy mentions how he downloaded Dillon Francis' new album and how shared it with us on Facebook. I asked him if he had Dr. Dre's new album so I could get it, but he said he forgot to look it up.

Another dude in the chat says, "so you forgot about Dre?"

Dad: "Have you heard the new Taylor Swift album?"

Me: "1989? Yeah."

Dad: "Oh no, it was much more recent than that."

Made a trip to DC by myself and went to Ford's Theatre as part of the trip. I uploaded a couple picture's I took into an album and made a brief description of each, because I knew my family would be interested in looking. Then my father, who is normally a very silent man who rarely ever smiles (let alone cracks a joke), commented this.

Simple, yet effective.

The first album will be This is How You Get Amps

And at one point there were a bunch of bears sprawled on the beach, and the rangers had put up a block in the middle of the path leading up to it with a warning about bears. I point to the thing blocking our path and ask my dad, "You know what that is?"

"What?"

"A BEAR-ier."

My friend said this on facebook: "Really digging this new Living Sacrifice Album. Also excited to find out that Still Remains released a new album!!"

My response, as if there could possibly be more than one:

"So, you're saying that Still Remains... still remains?"

I'm a dad to a 19-month old, so I have to get all my practice in now that way I'm a pro by the time he's old enough to understand my awesome dad jokes.

I was dressed as John Lennon, and I noticed my shoe falling off. So I took it off and at the next house I said "Wanna see my new album?" When they responded yes, I took off my shoe and told them it was called "Rubber Sole."

So my wife brought this book home from the library the other day. I knew you just had to see it.

Album Here

I wasn't sure on rules about sharing an entire book, so I just grabbed a few of my favorites. I definitely recommend checking it out yourselves.

...and I come across this Herb Alpert album. My dad looks over my shoulder and says, "Ah, Herb Alpert. The man who refers to his penis as a 'strumpet trumpet'."

I came across this song called "The Bus is Late" and while looking up the artist Satellite High I came across this AMAZING album: http://satellitehigh.bandcamp.com/album/the-dad-rock-ep

Now that I listen to full albums, I rarely leave the house.

Now that I listen to full albums, I hardly leave the house.
