I think that Weird Al is a great success story for song parodies because he's made some that are even more famous than the originals. "White and Nerdy" seems to come up just as frequently as the original, Chamillionaire's "Ridin' Dirty". The parodies seem to take whatever makes the original song cool and insult it and twist it around until its just as catchy as the first.
Most people already recognize the first song, so its just a matter of getting used to some of the lyrical differences and the songs seem to be hits. I enjoy song parodies a great deal because I think that much of today's popular music is rather poor in taste and deserves to be made fun of. Rap songs seem to be the easiest to parody. This may be because the beats are somewhat simple and often always can be replicated with the use of a synthesizer, the "singing" is more of speaking and can be much more easily created by the average person, and much of the rhyme scheme is already there to be altered. I have heard many a great song parody from a video game, and songs from games such as Super Mario are recognized by almost anyone. I have a few ring tone parodies of super Mario songs and my friends and I always bust into song when they play.
