(Mouth) harp and (in Me and Bobby McGee) harpoon can both mean harmonica, but even if there were a harmonica in this score I don’t suppose Crankshaft could come that close to making sense.
Today’s line is not a malapropism at all. Krankus is old enough to remember working on a whaling ship in his youth, and recognizes the harp player as a former member of his crew.

Consider if you will the piano, the trombone, and the French horn…how indeed will Ed mangle the titles for those instruments!?

Is this one of those Mash-Up Musicals? Like Hansel & Gretel meet The Gingerbread Man?
