“I used to be in a band called Gravy and Onions. We covered Meat Loaf”

Meat Loaf is the name of an American singer, and, of course, there are “meatloaf” jokes.
   
“I’m thinking about starting a band called Gravy… We’re just gonna cover Meat loaf” was posted on Reddit—Dadjokes on December 24, 2013. “My dad used to be in a band called Gravy and Onions. They covered Meat Loaf” was posted on Sickipedia on November 29, 2019. “I used to be in a band called Gravy and Onions. We mainly covered Meat Loaf” was posted on Twitter by 🎗 MOGGY 🎗 on November 29, 2019.
   
“I’ve started a band and called it ‘Books.’ So no one can judge us by our covers” and “Me and my friends are in a band called ‘Duvet.’ We’re a cover band” are other puns about covering songs.
