"If music be the food of cartoons, play on!" -Shakespeare, if he had quit being a playwright and drew music pun cartoons instead

In this pun on gargoyle, we see a guitargoyle, which is, of course, a gargoyle playing guitar.
Of course, his favorite music genre to play is hard rock.

In this pun on the saying/Pink Floyd song, Dark Side of the Moon, we see the dark side to the moon's personality - the moon angrily screams, "If I don't get my way, you'll be sorry!"
Not sure why Pink Floyd would want to sing about this

In this pun on Simon and Garfunkel song "Bridge Over Troubled Water," we see bridge under troubled water - some scuba divers, an octopus, and a crab playing the card game contract bridge under a turbulent sea.
Probably what Simon and Garfunkel meant to sing about

In this pun on royalty-free music, we see the opposite (royalty-full music?) which is of course a band made up of royals - a king, a queen, and a princess.
To that end, it should be noted that, due to budget cuts, we will no longer be able to feature the music of Prince, Queen, or Kings of Leon.

In this pun on polka dots, we see a band of dots who are dressed for and playing polka music.

In this pun on semiconductor, we see a symphony conductor standing in front of the orchestra saying he's only going to wave his baton every once in a while - he's only semi a conductor.

In this pun on soap opera, three soaps, dressed as characters from Carmen, Pagliacci, and the Ring Cycle, sign opera.
The only drama in these shows is whether or not a character will make your skin dry.

In this pun on old-time band, two elderly clocks play some tunes on fiddle and banjo.
One of life’s greatest joys is square dancing to the upbeat tunes of an elderly clock.
