A bung is almost always made of plastic/rubber and it could have a hole in it to allow you to insert glass tubes/thermometers etc. These are the ones which you usually use to close off test tubes for short periods of time (i.e, during a reaction etc.)
A stopper on the other hand usually refers to a glass stopper which could go in an Erlenmeyer flask for storage or in a separating funnel when it is being inverted and shaken.
It is confusing because people often refer to bungs as stoppers and say 'stopper off the test tube' when they mean for you to use a bung. The general rule of thumb is that a bung is usually used in place of a stopper unless you are specifically told to do so!!

What is the use of the rubber stopper in the laboratory?
From Wikipedia:A bung is truncated cylindrical or conical closure to seal a container, such as a bottle, tube or barrel. Unlike a lid which encloses a container from the outside without displacing the inner volume a bung is partially inserted inside the container to act as a seal. The lids for safety overpacks for 55 gallon drums sometimes may have a bung built in for access of the contents of the container. These may be referred to as fuel bungs.A rubber stopper is sometimes called a rubber bung, and a cork stopper is called a cork. Sometimes bung stoppers used for wine bottles are referred to as "corks", even though made from another material.

When a rubber stopper has a mass of 8.46g was immersed in a graduated cylinder containing 25 ml of water the water rose to 30.9 ml Calculate the densityof the rubber stopper?

What are the lyrics to Please Mr Sandman sung by The Andrew Sisters in World War 2?
"Mr Sandman" was not sung by the Andrews Sisters in WW2, because it was written by Pat Ballard in 1954. It was first recorded by the Chordettes. The lyrics are: (scat “bung, bung, bung, bung..........) Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream (bung, bung, bung, bung) Make him the cutest that I've ever seen (bung, bung, bung, bung) Give him two lips like roses and clover (bung, bung, bung, bung) Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over. Sandman, I'm so alone Don't have nobody to call my own Please turn on your magic beam Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream. (scat “bung, bung, bung, bung.….) Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream Make him the cutest that I've ever seen Give him the word that I'm not a rover Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over. Sandman, I'm so alone Don't have nobody to call my own Please turn on your magic beam Mr. Sandman, bring me a dream. (scat “bung, bung, bung, bung) Mr. Sandman (male voice: “Yesss?) bring us a dream Give him a pair of eyes with a “come-hither” gleam Give him a lonely heart like Pagliacci And lots of wavy hair like Liberace Mr Sandman, someone to hold (someone to hold) Would be so peachy before we're too old So please turn on your magic beam Mr Sandman, bring us, please, please, please Mr Sandman, bring us a dream. (scat “bung, bung, bung, bung….)
