You stick the harmonica in your helmet. You hear "Paint It Black".

Is this a non sequitur? If it isn't, this will be like getting two jokes in one... The one I laughed at, and then the one you explain to me!

err....helloooo ?
Didn't get it either, apart from the reference to FMJ...
Could it mean paint a *tile* black" ? This still doesnt make sense to me but maybe that's a clue (note the corpse/food too...blues for a dead friend ?)
Nah, Iefinitely don't get it, sorry!

The song Paint It Black was featured in Full Metal Jacket. One joke, two clues.

There was a helmet with "Born to Kill" and a "Peace-Sign" on it in FMJ - and (i think) right in this scene "Paint it black" was played.
No idea about the blues and the harmonica...

Knowing me, I'm likely overthinking, but...
Harmonica --> Harmony --> "Peace sign"

i got excaliburAt first only its tip was visible, but then it rose, straight,
proud, all that was noble and great and wondrous. The tip of
the blade pointed toward the moon, as if it would cleave it
in two. The blade itself gleamed like a beacon in the night.
There was no light source for the sword to be reflecting
from, for the moon had darted behind a cloud in fear. The
sword was glowing from the intensity of its strength and
power and knowledge that it was justice incarnate, and that
after a slumber of uncounted years its time had again come.
After the blade broke the surface, the hilt was visible, and
holding the sword was a single strong, yet feminine hand,
wearing several rings that bore jewels sparkling with the
blue-green color of the ocean.

and attracted a waterDay after day, day after day,
We stuck, nor breath nor motion;
As idle as a painted ship
Upon a painted ocean.

Water, water, everywhere,
And all the boards did shrink;
Water, water, everywhere
Nor any drop to drink.

demonIt is often very hard to discover what any given Demon looks
like, apart from a general impression of large size, huge
fangs, staring eyes, many limbs, and an odd color; but all
accounts agree that Demons are very powerful, very Magic (in
a nonhuman manner), and made of some substance that can squeeze
through a keyhole yet not be pierced with a Sword. This makes
them difficult to deal with, even on the rare occasions when
they are friendly.

...If you got the amulet"The complete Amulet can keep off all the things that make
people unhappy -- jealousy, bad temper, pride, disagreeableness,
greediness, selfishness, laziness. Evil spirits, people called
them when the Amulet was made. Don't you think it would be nice
to have it?"
"Very," said the children, quite without enthusiasm.
"And it can give you strength and courage."
"That's better," said Cyril.
"And virtue."
"I suppose it's nice to have that," said Jane, but not with much
interest.
"And it can give you your heart's desire."
"Now you're talking," said Robert.

I never got any kicks from Full Metal Jacket, and don't see what everybody else sees in the film. Alas, that is probably why I also didn't recognize the references nor got the joke.

WTF? "Which character represents a fountainRest! This little Fountain runs
Thus for aye: -- It never stays
For the look of summer suns,
Nor the cold of winter days.
Whose'er shall wander near,
When the Syrian heat is worst,
Let him hither come, nor fear
Lest he may not slake his thirst:
He will find this little river
Running still, as bright as ever.
Let him drink, and onward hie,
Bearing but in thought, that I,
Erotas, bade the Naiad fall,
And thank the great god Pan for all!
