The crux is that the word ''pianist'' sounds similar to the word ''penis''; the joke also relies on the common trope of {{w|genies}} granting {{w|wishes}} (as in the tale of '''''{{w|Aladdin|Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp}}'''''), sometimes with creative (mis)understanding or literalism as {{tvtropes|AnAesop|an Aesop}} to be wary about what you wish for, as well as the common stereotype that larger penises are more desirable. |
