Okay, siting here watching the rain come down (it actually does rain in California) and thought of this: How about taking song titles and altering them with accompanying explanations. I went with the Beatles to start:
I Want to Fold This Hand (gambling was not the Beatles' strong suit
Drain (Lennon's ode to bad plumbing)
All My Liver (The lads regretfully turned down David Crosby)
Octomom's Garden (We call them garden gnomes now, and 8 really was enough)
Dang, You CAN Do That (Everybody's green, cause I'm the one who can still touch my toes)
Ovelay Emay Oday (George Martin had tried to dissuade the boys from writing Love Me Do in pig Latin, but they did it anyway, so that explains why it didn't take off like Pizza Please Me.
Spigot to Ride (Paul's celebration of hot and cold running water)
Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except Inspector Clouseau's Minky (The main reason you don't see any chimps on Beatle album covers)
Can't Bite Me, Love (The second film, in color this time, was going to feature vampire fans)
Carry That Weight Outside (Ringo's mother-in-law was rather hefty)

Okay, let's try the Rolling Stones
Tumbling Lice (Oy, you shake out those blankets on the tour bus ....)
It's All Over the Place Now (Charlie sneezed on Mick's coke stash)
Jumpin Jack Flab (Mick's Kevlar girdle finally lets go onstage)
Gimme Shellfish (Keith determined to blow up the rumors about his food allergies)
You Can't Always Get What You Ordered (Jack 'n the Box dude can't understand Keith's mumbles at the drive through)
Putrefaction (Keith unearths the old man's ashes for one last snort)

A while back when Taylor Swift had a hit song called "Me!," someone started a thread about a Taylor Swift album of modified Beatle covers.
"I Saw Me Standing There" "From Me to Me" "I Want to Hold My Hand" "I Love Me, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah,"
And others.

Or removing "Love" from all song titles and replacing it with "Blob
I Want to Know What Blob Is
Blob Me Tender
Endless Blob
Make You Feel My Blob
All You Need is Blob
I Will Always Blob You
Ordinary Blob
Let Me Blob You
Turn up the Blob
Blob You Like a Blob Song
Crazy Blob
Where is the Blob
I Believe in a Thing Called Blob
When You Blob Someone

Gato, that reminds me of when my now-41-year-old son was 4 or 5, he would listen to music over headphones while the rest of the family watched TV. (Maybe that's why he's so smart.) He could put the platters on the turntable without damaging anything.
He would listen to his Disney Children's Favorites LPs, but then put on my Beatle LPs. And sing along.
"Glub, glub, glub, Glub, glub, glub, Glub, glub, glub"
That was "All You Need is Glub."
