        Here’s my translation attempt:

        Imagine this as a stereotypical lame stand-up comedy routine.

        “Counting Crows? Isn’t that just murder by numbers? Thanks, you’ve been a great crowd! My name’s Frances, I’ll be here all week.”

          Cleaner/clearer joke delivery would be:

          Counting crows is just murder by numbers.

          In my non-comedically talented opinion, of course.

        So we call a “flock” of crows a murder. Also, counting crows is a band and murder by numbers is a movie. The joke goes, the band name/concept of literally counting crows is just the movie/concept of murder “flock of crows” by…wait for it…numbers! Counting crows/flock of crows by numbers hardy har funny! I don’t know if that helped or made it worse but there is no turning back now.
