I think song parodies are one of the best ways to get a person's attention. First of all, if the writer uses the tune to a well-known or catchy song, it will grab the audience's attention right away. Once the audience is listening, they are going to tune into the words, and then realize that the lyrics are not what they expected! Now you've gotten them listening to every single word the writer is saying....and thus whatever message the writer wanted to get out is out!
Song parodies make me laugh, mainly because the ones that I have listened to are from Weird Al Yankovic or from Mad TV. Both Weird Al and Mad TV have a very interesting way of making fun of things: Weird Al just sings about something silly (Like a Surgeon, Amish Paradise), while Mad TV likes to poke fun at pop culture and politics.
It's hard to choose a favorite song parody out of the ones that are already written, but I guess my most recent favorite would have to be Mad TV's "Under Barrack Obama," which was sung to the tune of Rihanna's "Umbrella." The song was poking fun about the Democratic nomination campaign between Hillary Clinton and Barrack Obama.
Song parodies are something that us "regular folk" can enjoy- and by that, I mean, partake in it as if we were just as talented as other songwriters. When writing a song parody- the music is already written, and is well-known, so we don't even need to sit down and learn a new song. The difficult part is to think about something to make fun of, and sometimes, even making fun of something isn't necessary. Some people write song parodies about things that don't make sense, or make directions into a song (example: if you were listening to a song, and while singing it, you decided to change the lyrics to tell someone to do the dishes.).
Even little children have been exposed to song parodies when they watch episodes of Bill Nye the Science Guy, who has a song parody music video playing at the end of each of his episodes. And there are students who will write song parodies about "Cells" or "Mitosis" or "Newton's Laws of Motion" because their teacher assigned them that project. Song parodies have become a part of our everyday lives, whether we want it to or not.
