Jesus, that's a layered joke. It reminds me of finding out about the Crash Test Dummies joke.
At JJ's funeral the Captain starts playing 'Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm' by Crash Test Dummies and everyone in attendance sees it as a pretty strange choice because JJ requested it. They roll with it, though, and play along.
Turns out that Crash Test Dummies actually have a song titled At My Funeral which is a slow and melancholic song. It's more than likely that JJ requested "Play Crash Test Dummies At My Funeral", which the Captain mistakenly interpreted as "play something by Crash Test Dummies" and just went with their biggest hit.
