Hopefully I can explain without making things more confusing...

There's the DUB package manager for D:
https://github.com/rejectedsoftware/dub

And apparently (although I guess I never noticed this) the meta-data
for each package is called a "record" (a common, albeit old, term for
a database entry).

But, turns out "dub record" is a pun (whether it's intentional, I
don't know). Because "dub" is a type of music:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dub_%28music%29

So the dual meaning: "dub record" (matadata for the dub package manager)
and "dub record" (a vinyl pressing of dub music).

Being a pun, it elicited a groan ;)

(Speaking of things that elicit groans...)

There's a relatively recent derivative of the "dub" music genre called 
"dubstep" <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dubstep>. More recently,
"dubstep" begat a derived genre of...random noises...called
"brostep". The quintessential "brostep" recording person is probably
"Skrillex". This is what Skrillex sounds like, along with the reaction
it typically gets:

That's probably one of his *better* tracks, actually. Basically,
take the random noises that radio stations like to stick between
songs and extend it to fill a CD. If you accidentally stumble upon the
beginnings of a beat or melody, cease immediately. That's basically it.
Apparently he won a Grammy for that.

Still, at least it's not Taylor Swift.
