Singer Humor ..

mrdreamjeansI received these bits of humor from a friend with whom I shared the stage in "Phantom of the Opera". I'm certain he found the jokes hilarious, as he's a Bass. I'll give him a virtual smack upside the head later! LOL! Enjoy!
Ten tenors and a baritone were clinging precariously to a wildly swinging rope suspended from a crumbling outcropping on Mount Everest. Grasping the rope as tightly as they could, as a group they realized they couldn't all hold on much longer; they decided that one of the party would have to let go. If that didn't happen, the rope would break under their combined weight, and they would all perish. For an agonizing few moments no-one volunteered. Finally the baritone gave a truly touching speech saying he would sacrifice himself to save the lives of the others. The tenors were so moved, they all applauded....
Q: Why are soprano jokes all one-liners?
A: So tenors can understand them.
Q: Did you hear about the female opera singer who had quite a range at the lower end of the scale.
A: She was known as the deep C diva.
Q: How late does the tenor sing?
A: Oh, about half a beat behind the conductor.
Q: How many baritones does it take to change a light bulb?
A: Six--one to change it and five to keep the tenor from hogging the light.
Q: What did the tenor get on his IQ test?
A: Drool.
Q: What do you say to a soprano at the door?
A: It doesn't matter what you say, she still won't know when to come in.
There were two people walking down the street. One was a musician. The other didn't have any money either.
A man parks his car in a rough part of town with two accordions on the back seat, forgetting to lock the back door. When he returns, there are three accordions.

Date: 2008-10-17 03:47 pm (UTC)There is whole set of band/orchestra jokes as well. Apparently no one likes the viola and there are hundreds of jokes about it.
One of my favorites comes from a friend who once aspired to being in a rock band:
Q. How do you know that a drummer is knocking at your front door?
A. Because the knock slowly speeds up.
It still makes me laugh.

And Sarah Palin ruined my favorite singer joke:
