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

Finally starting to understand the incredible depth of Backstreet Boys lyrics

In reference to the Shakira song, "My Hips Don't Lie," a person claims that her hips don't lie, but her hippos do, as her hippos give her lie excuses.
Some find inspiration in nature, others find it in Shakira.

We see two people who claim to play the keys. A man playing the keyboard next to a woman who jangles a bunch of house keys.
Needless to say, I was very confused the first time I heard the keyboard referred to as “the keys.”

In this pun on dueling banjos, we see two banjos, swords drawn, ready to duel.
The scariest part of Deliverance (when the banjos pull out their foils and yell “en garde!”)
