No. A pun is a play on words, a playful expression that uses a sound-alike word.

For example, if there were increasing signs of a mess made by Chris--first wet shoes, then an overcoat tossed on the floor, then a pile of books and papers thrown in a heap, you could say, "It's beginning to look a lot like Chris mess."

That would be a pun on the popular song title.
