Music puns

10 puns

Music puns hit all the right notes for anyone who lives for a good chord progression or a bad joke, sometimes both at once. This category gathers wordplay about instruments, rhythm, and the everyday drama of being "note kidding," perfect for band camp t-shirts, music teacher jokes, or a caption after a great concert. Puns about music tend to lean on instrument names and musical terms (treble, beat, key), so if you play an instrument or just appreciate a well-timed pun, there's something here for you. These lines work equally well written on a whiteboard, texted to a bandmate, or dropped into a caption. Scroll down to find your favorite music pun.
