What's a DJ's favorite sauce?

The joke “What’s a DJ’s favorite sauce? ‘Mara-nara'” is a play on words that combines the world of DJs (disc jockeys) with the culinary world. The punchline “Mara-nara” is a pun that blends “Marinara,” a type of tomato sauce, with the phonetic similarity to the phrase “Mara-nara,” which when pronounced quickly, can sound like a DJ scratching a record back and forth on a turntable. The humor arises from the unexpected fusion of two unrelated fields: music and cooking. It also plays on the stereotype of DJs always wanting to add their unique “spin” to things, even something as simple as a sauce.
