Artist name puns:
Ozzy went to the library to get "Wizard of the Oz" for grandkids, then checked the DVDs & chose "The Bourne Identity". The Mama Michelle was drinking tea when smb. took her sandwich from her table. She yelled, "The Papas! Catch this scoundrel!" Joanna got some_new instrument - guess what? Harp! Judee sat at windowsill but then got tired of sitting & went jogging.

Artist-song title puns:
Brendan is standing in the line to buy stapler. Finally he's buying it but before, tells to shop woman he'd like to check if it works. Lo & behold, it's stuck. Then suddenly he stapled his finger. The woman said, "Bad finger". He threw aggressively, "Know without you".
2 boys Jan & Dean were riding the bike. Jan puts the breaks "Hey, Dean, we forgot to send letter to my teacher. She's old lady who moved to Pasadena".
Smb. jumped to Toni Basil's back: "TA-DA!" She got scared & turned who's the idiot. Then gleefully yells, "HEY MICKEY!"
Little boy George & his puppy were playing in the snow. Then parents say "Darling, we're going to church. Leave the dog. He'll be alright." George started to act stubborn "But it's boring there! I'd like to stay! Besides, don't you know it poisons your minds?? It's rubbish!". Some parent replied, "Welllll. After the church we'll go to your favorite club Culture". George shined.
"OK, where are we?", asked the tourists. The guide "We're in magnetic place - the fields of St. Etienne. When I 1st visited this place I felt like the luckiest guy on the Lower East. I'm sure you'll agree".
Some guy hired singing duet "Righteous Brothers" to sing serenade to the girl by her house. They arrived & start singing, "You're my soul & my heart inspiration...". Then amidst the song the 3rd floor window opens, they see some old guy's face. He shouts "Your bad music woke me up. What the hell you're doing here?" "We're paid to sing song to girl". "What's her name?" "Alex". "You're standing by the wrong house. It's next". "Sorry" said embarrassed & confused singers.
2 budding actors Liam & Noel practiced the scene in drama class. The 1st student forgot his dialog lines. Noel goes "Aaarrrrgh! Told you before to read your lines! You said [mockingly] "Will do, will do". Liam interrupts "Calm down, dude. We've got time, for goodness' sake. Don't look back in anger". Professor Gallagher "Finished? Take your fight outside the class. Now, off you go. We're going to study the movie "Oasis", developments & camera work etc."

I've always been a sucker for spontaneous laughter in songs. Such as here in Dire Straits' "Wild West End", just after 1:10:

Lou Reed with the Velvet Underground has a couple of giggly moments--maybe there are more.
First off in (of all things) "Heroin", twice actually, here at 4:45 and 6:22:
And also in "Some Kinda Love", here at 3:15:

Spike Milligan's wacky humour was a major influence on the more outlandish strain of British comedy. "Tower Bridge" (1966), partly a swipe at the then hugely popular "Winchester Cathedral", includes a wacky interlude that makes at least one of the musicians laugh (here beginning at 1:05): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spike_Milligan

The unfairly maligned "Maxwell's Silver Hammer" has a chuckle moment too, at the words "Writing fifty times..." (here at 1:21):

Here's my last contribution to this mini-series--too much humour is bad for one anyway. It occurs in the Incredible String Band song "This Moment", just after Licorice or Rose speaks the words "It's different!" (here at 5:30):

Who could have guessed that philosophy could be so much fun. These gals absolutely nailed it They did indeed! When the Wiggin sisters were recording the album, they'd occasionally stop and their father/manager Austin Wiggin (who attended their gigs wearing a badge with SHAGG MANAGER on it) would straight-facedly explain to the engineers, who spent most of the session on the floor doubled up with laughter, that "they made a mistake". And it was true! They knew what they were doing all right. Their stuff has been most aptly described as "aboriginal". My favourite track on POTW (which I own) is "That Little Sports Car", not least because it adds a fourth, bass-playing Wiggin sister to the mix: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Shaggs

I only discovered The Shaggs when I began re-reading my 1991 copy of "Slipped Discs - The Worst Rock 'n' Roll Records of All Time", where they charted a very creditable No 16 in the worst album category, ahead of such luminaries as Queen, The Byrds, Doors, CSN&Y and Dylan, who all scored less points than our talented lasses here. That book is so much fun, pricks a ton of high falutin' egos, and even our Boys get a page to themselves.
