A parody is a humorous mockery of notable songs, movies, etc. in popular culture.
Or even higher culture...A fine example of literary parody is “The Modern Hiawatha”, from “The Song of Milkanwatha” by George A Strong.
- ”He killed the noble Mujokovis,
- With the skin he made him mittens,
- Made them with the fur side inside,
- Made them with the skin side outside,
- He, to get the warm side inside,'
- Put the inside skin side outside:
- He, to get the cold side outside,
- Put the warm side fur side inside:
- That’s why he put the fur side inside,
- Why he put the skin side outside,
- Why he turned them inside outside.”
