Musical light bulbs

Sign in to disble this ad
OK, the emo bass player/light bulb thread took a nose dive so here is one to be as creative as you like. Please limit your posts to musical/light bulb changing format and leave your offense at the door. It's all in good fun.

How many guitarists does it take to screw in a light bulb.

At least two. One to change the bulb and others to argue about whether it has as good a sustain as the last one.

How many trumpet players does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

Just one. He holds it up and the world revolves around him.

OR

7. One to do it, and 6 others to say how much better Miles (or Maynard, or Faddis, or Wynton etc.) could have done it.


How many 2nd trumpet players does it take to screw in a light bulb?

None. They can't reach that high.


How many clarinetists does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

Just one, but he will go through a whole box until he finds the right one.
