Umm, then we're having a problem with the definition of the word parody: par·o·dy Audio pronunciation of "parody" ( P ) Pronunciation Key (pr-d) n. pl. par·o·dies 1. 1. A literary or artistic work that imitates the characteristic style of an author or a work for comic effect or ridicule. See Synonyms at caricature. 2. The genre of literature comprising such works. 2. Something so bad as to be equivalent to intentional mockery; a travesty: The trial was a parody of justice. 3. Music. The practice of reworking an already established composition, especially the incorporation into the Mass of material borrowed from other works, such as motets or madrigals. I was using sense 1. It appears you might have been using sense 3, but that seems to be rather specialized (motets and madrigals). In general, a not-necessarily-ridiculing alteration of a song is called a cover. > If you make a word to differ them, how would you decide if you > make little changes?
