A song parody is a a specific form of parody that involves taking an existing song, keeping the beat and background the same, then rewriting the lyrics (or possibly adding lyrics to a song that originally had none). Sometimes the new lyrics are similar to the original, sometimes they bear little resemblance. The United States Supreme Court case Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music established song parodies as Fair Use, even when used for profit. Thus, one does not technically need to get permission from the original artist to make a parody, though some (such as "Weird Al" Yankovic) make it a point to get permission for any parodies.note Yankovic does this out of principle, i.e. as an act of goodwill towards the artist being parodied to ensure that they don't view the parody negatively. This most famously occurred with rapper Coolio, who initially expressed displeasure with Yankovic's parody of his song, "Gangsta's Paradise," but the two worked it out, and Coolio extended his apology, stating that he was "being cocky and stupid" and should've embraced what he now viewed as something funny. In a non-audio medium such as a comic, making a song parody can be a good way to let readers know how a song is supposed to actually sound, by giving them a beat and tune to keep in mind as they read the lyrics. Often times, song parodies are sung To the Tune of... the piece they're spoofing, but this isn't a requirement; oftentimes a Suspiciously Similar Song substitute is used instead. |

The Simpsons: "Marge vs. the Monorail" begins with Homer singing a parody of The Flintstones theme song, which abruptly ended when Homer's car "hit a chestnut tree". Later, Lyle Lanley leads the people of Springfield into singing the "Monorail" song, a spoof of "Ya Got Trouble" from The Music Man, as Lanley is an Expy of Professor Harold Hill. "Two Dozen and One Greyhounds" has Mr. Burns sing a song called "See My Vest", which is a parody of "Be Our Guest" from Beauty and the Beast and in which Burns expresses his desire of turning animals into clothes. "My Fair Laddy" has Groundskeeper Willie singing "Wouldn't It Be Adequate?", a parody of "Wouldn't It Be Loverly?" from My Fair Lady. |

Self primarily do non-comedic originals, but the outtake compilation Feels Like Breakin' Shit included a pair of parody songs: "Titanic" is a Titanic-themed parody of The Pixies' "Gigantic" (which also includes a bit of Weezer's "The World Has Turned And left Me Here"), while "Moronic" is a parody of Alanis Morissette's "Ironic" that's a Take That! to the original artist. | |

The YouTube channel Founders Sing consists of both original songs and song parodies used to poke fun at political issues, one parody in particular being "We are the Worst" (a spoof of We Are the World that has Donald Trump, Rudy Guliani, Roger Stone and other infamous GOP figures sing about their faults and how their policies have caused problems for the United States). | |

Total Drama: Battle of the Generations: As noted by the author, all of the songs in the story are parodies of existing ones. The song in Antarctica references "Let It Go", from Frozen. Both the lyrics and the visuals described in the Kyoto song are a parody of the opening to Neon Genesis Evangelion. |

That Mitchell and Webb Look mentioned the existence of a secret Snooker-based parody of "Lady in Red" in one sketch about two Snooker tournament radio commentators. In a follow-up sketch later in the episode, the two commentators actually sing a portion of the song, "Table of Reds", in dedication to a manic-depressive Snooker player whom the commentators had both saved from committing suicide at one time or another. See the full sketch here. | |

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland parodies numerous poems, as well as a few songs: The Hatter's "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Bat" is, very transparently, "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star". "The Lobster Quadrille" is a spoof of Mary Howitt's poem "The Spider and the Fly", which Lewis Carroll knew in song form. Carroll liked the melody of the song a lot, and specifically asked the composer of a stage version of Alice to use the old melody rather than trying to write a new one. Victorian readers would have caught immediately that the Mock Turtle's Torch Song "Beautiful Soup" can be sung to the tune of a pop mega-hit of the day, "Beautiful Star". |

Periodically, Private Eye would publish a "free gift" 45rpm record, containing sound parody of current events and topical news stories, voiced by Britain's foremost impressionist comedians. These always included a topical parody song based on a current chart hit. note PE largely ceased doing this after the advent of TV shows like Spitting Image. For one thing, the comic talent PE used for its records, often on a voluntary basis, migrated to the paid TV work and simply were not available any more. | |

Saturday Night Live SNL often uses Suspiciously Similar Songs or In the Style of to parody music, but there are times when they use this trope, such as "Walking In Staten", an affectionate jab about Staten Island to the tune of "Walking In Memphis". When Lucy Lawless hosted SNL, she played Stevie Nicks in the "Stevie Nicks' Fajita Roundup" sketch, singing some of Nicks' most iconic songs with Fleetwood Mac and as a solo artist with Tex-Mex-themed lyrics. |

The Family Guy episode "Peter, Peter, Caviar Eater" intentionally subverted this with its big musical number "We Only Live To Kiss Your Ass", which is not a direct parody, but an obvious soundalike to "I Think I'm Gonna Like It Here" from Annie (1982). Originally it was supposed to be a parody, but writer David Zuckerman insisted on making it an original composition since he believed it could get them nominated for an Emmy. He proved to be correct. | |

Cledus T. Judd is also a career parodist, focusing mainly on Country Music. Before him, the country music parody field was dominated by Pinkard and Bowden, who also wrote several (serious) country songs for other artists. Their biggest hit was "Mama She's Lazy", a parody of The Judds' "Mama He's Crazy". Sheb Wooley (of "Purple People Eater" and Wilhelm Scream fame) recorded several albums of parodies of then-current country hits in the 1960s and '70s as Ben Colder. Going back even earlier, Homer and Jethro made a name for themselves doing these in the '50s and '60s. |

Total Highschool Drama: There are several songs in the series that are based off of existing songs. For example, in chapter 23, Noah is required to name the most populated cities in each state in the United States in both question and song form. What he sings is a nod to A Codette World Tour, which helped inspire this fanfiction; in that story, Cody sang this song for the same challenge that the challenge in this chapter is based off of. | |
