contrafactum edit
Wouldn't much of what we broadly consider "parody music" today actually be examples of contrafactum? That is, if it's not commenting on—satirically or ironically—the original work, is it truly parody? No, it's just new lyrics on an old tune, which is the definition of contrafactum. Most of Weird Al's "parody" songs are probably contrafactum, though "Smells Like Nirvana" does parody the unintelligible nature of the original. I don't know that Richard Cheese or Iron Horse is parody either. It's can certainly be humorous to sing the same lyrics to a very different arrangement, but does that make a statement on the original? Not necessarily. ⇔ ChristTrekker 21:20, 13 June 2017 (UTC)
