One day deep in the jungle

[Big Dave]

An anthropologist decides to investigate the natives of a far-flung tropical island. He flew there, found a guide with a canoe to take him up the river to the remote site where he would make his collections. About noon on the second day of travel up the river they began to hear drums. Being a city boy by nature, the anthropologist was disturbed by this. He asked the guide, "What are those drums?"
The guide turned to him and said "Drums OK, but VERY BAD when they stop."
Then, after some hours, the drums suddenly stopped! This hit the anthropologist like a ton of bricks, and he yelled at the guide: "The Drums have stopped, what happens now?"
The guide crouched down, covered his head with his hands and said,

"Bass Solo".

Bass Guitar - Solo always comes after the drums stop at a jazz concert.

Way down deep in the middle of the Congo, a hippo took an apricot, a guava and a mango.
He stuck it with the others, and he danced a dainty tango.

The rhino said, "I know, we'll call it Um Bongo",
Um Bongo, Um Bongo, They drink it in the Congo.

The python picked the passion fruit, the marmoset the mandarin.
The parrot painted packets, that the whole caboodle landed in.

So when it comes to sun and fun and goodness in the jungle,
They all prefer the sunny funny one they call Um Bongo!

Pity he missed the sax and trumpet....but they'll come back for another solo after the bass.Or he could have really bad luck and happened upon a Lionel Hampton concert...

I understand neither of the two jokes in this thread.

Can some explain the punch line in simple terms.

Thanks,

One should never have to explain a joke. If you don't get it, then it can't be funny, now can it?

Well that is true for these two jokes, but there is a pattern in them that I don't understand. For jokes in the past which have been explained, when there's one of same style, I know get the punch line.
