“The Beach Boys walk into a bar…” (bar joke)

“A guy walks into a bar…” is a typical form of what has been called the “bar joke.” A Beach Boys version is:
 
The Beach Boys walk into a bar
“Round?”
“Round?”
“Get a round”
“I get a round?”
“Get a round….”

 
The pun is on the Beach Boys’ song “I Get Around” (1964). The joke has been cited in print since at least March 2009.
     
       
Wikipedia: I Get Around
“I Get Around” is a song written by Brian Wilson and Mike Love for American rock band the Beach Boys. It was released as a single in May 1964 with “Don’t Worry Baby” as its B-side and became the group’s first number-one charting song in the United States. In the United Kingdom, it charted at number seven and was the band’s first top ten single there. It was included as the opening track on their studio album All Summer Long in July 1964.
