That wasn't what I was proposing.

I was proposing a word for "changed songs" and a word for "humoursly
changed songs" == "parody".  You seem to think that any changed song
is a parody; that's not how I use the word.

To put it another way, I don't believe that the English word for the
word you coined is "parody", I believe it's "cover".

The *amount* of change is irrelevant.
