Though not actually mentioned in the song, sequins and spangles are little, shiny, twinkly jewel-like things – “like a diamond in the sky”.  Perhaps not a pun per se, but it is suggestive.  It would certainly make a good mnemonic.

Well, yes, I get that {HovHom} is "little star". What I didn't get was how that is a "pun", or how sequins are connected to the song.
