Musicians and Lightbulbs    
 
Q: How many musicians does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
(Does this question ask how many musicians can be put into a light bulb?)
A: One, two, one, two, three, four!

Anyway, please help me understand this joke. Thanks.

Truths are hard to prove, rumors are easy to make.

Q - the question means how many musicians are needed to put a new lightbulb in its socket - to replace a broken lightbulb.

A - this is the way musicians sometimes count their way into the start of a song.

'Lightbulb' jokes (how many X does it take to screw in a lightbulb) are very common.
