Sorry, it's kinda long, I copied the original bit and substituted a "Band" theme for the "Baseball" theme. Not sure how funny it is, but here goes:

Abbott: Well Costello, I'm going to New York, I was hired to manage a new band and you can come along.
Costello: Look Abbott, if you're the Manger, you must know all the players in the band?
Abbott: I certainly do.
Costello: Well, since I've never met the guys, you'll have to tell me their names, so I'll know who's in the band.
Abbott: Ok, I'll tell you their names, but you know musicians now-a-days very peculiar names.
Costello: You mean funny names?
Abbott: Strange names, nick names, pet names...like Axl, Iggy, Gaga, Flea,
Costello: Does he have a brother named Fly?
Abbott:. No, well, let's see, we have the following lineup: Who's on Bass, What's on Guitar, I Don't Know is on Drums...
Costello: That's what I want to find out.
Abbott: I say Who's on Bass, What's on Guitar, I Don't Know's on Drums.
Costello: Are you the manager?
Abbott: Yes.
Costello: You gonna book the gigs too?
Abbott: Yes.
Costello: And you don't know the fellows' names?
Abbott: Well I should.
Costello: Well, then who's on Bass?
Abbott: Yes.
Costello: I mean the fellow's name.
Abbott: Who.
Costello: The guy on Bass.
Abbott: Who.
Costello: The Bass player.
Abbott: Who.
Costello: The guy playing...
Abbott: Who is on Bass!
Costello: I'm asking YOU who's on Bass?
Abbott: That's the man's name.
Costello: That's Who's name?
Abbott: Yes.
Costello: Well go ahead and tell me.
Abbott: That's it.
Costello: That's Who?
Abbott: Yes.
PAUSE
Costello: Look, you gotta Bass player?
Abbott: Certainly.
Costello: Who's playing Bass?
Abbott: That's right.
Costello: When you pay Bass player every month, Who gets the money?
Abbott: Every dollar of it.
Costello: All I'm trying to find out is the fellow's name on Bass.
Abbott: Who.
Costello: The guy that gets...
Abbott: That's it.
Costello: Who gets the money...
Abbott: Every dollar of it, although sometimes his wife comes down and collects it.
Costello: Who's wife?
Abbott: Yes.
PAUSE
Abbott: What's wrong with that?
Costello: Look, all I wanna know is when you signed the Bass player, how does he sign his name?
Abbott: Who.
Costello: The guy.
Abbott: Who.
Costello: How does he sign...
Abbott: That's how he signs it.
Costello: Who?
Abbott: Yes.
PAUSE
Costello: All I'm trying to find out is What's the guy's name on Bass.
Abbott: No. What's on Guitar.
Costello: I'm not asking you who's on Guitar.
Abbott: Who's on Bass.
Costello: One guy at a time!
Abbott: Well, don't change the band around.
Costello: I'm not changing nobody!
Abbott: Take it easy, buddy.
Costello: I'm only asking you, who's the guy on Bass?
Abbott: That's right.
Costello: Ok.
Abbott: All right.
PAUSE
Costello: What's the guy's name on Bass?
Abbott: No. What is on Guitar.
Costello: I'm not asking you who's on Guitar.
Abbott: Who's on Bass.
Costello: I don't know.
Abbott: He's on Drums! But you weren't talking about him.
Costello: Now how did I get to Drums?
Abbott: Why you mentioned his name.

Abbott: All right, what do you want to know?
Costello: Now who's playing Drums?
Abbott: Why do you insist on putting Who on Drums?
Costello: What am I putting on Drums.

Abbott: What time what?
Costello: What time tomorrow are you gonna tell me who is playing Violin?

Costello: So, if we are on stage performing and I’m playing Flute, Tomorrow's on Violin. And the Bass player drops his hat, and I pick it up and want to return it to him, so I give it to Who?
