That's the more common (and as I just found out, original) meaning. But Alekseiy's definition, where a melody or an entire arrangement are reused with a new text (often written for a special occasion in a very solemn style and not at all thought af as a ... parody) is valid too. This is from the wikipedia:casfu'i = ckasu + fukpi "mock-copy"
parody: "A literary or artistic work that imitates the characteristic style of an author or a work for comic effect or ridicule."
So I think "funny-copy" or "mocking-copy" would work.
