A parody ( /ˈpærədi/; also called pastiche, spoof, send-up or lampoon), in current use, is an imitative work created to mock, comment on, or trivialise an original work, its subject, author, style, or some other target, by means of humorous, satiric or ironic imitation. As the literary theorist Linda Hutcheon puts it, "parody … is imitation, not always at the expense of the parodied text." Another critic, Simon Dentith, defines parody as "any cultural practice which provides a relatively polemical allusive imitation of another cultural production or practice." Parody may be found in art or culture, including literature, music (although "parody" in music has an earlier, somewhat different meaning than for other art forms), animation, gaming and film.
The writer and critic John Gross observes in his Oxford Book of Parodies, that parody seems to flourish on territory somewhere between pastiche ("a composition in another artist's manner, without satirical intent") and burlesque (which "fools around with the material of high literature and adapts it to low ends").

In 2008, Grande played the role of Charlotte in the musical 13 on Broadway, for which she won a National Youth Theatre Association Award.

Abel Tesfaye (born February 16, 1990), better known by his stage name The Weeknd, is an R&BCanadian recording artist and record producer from Toronto. He began recording songs under The Weeknd and uploading them to YouTube in late 2010, though the identity of the individual behind the project was initially unknown. In March 2011, The Weeknd released a nine-song free album, House of Balloons which was critically acclaimed. The title track is based on a sample of Siouxsie and the Banshees' hit single "Happy House. The first album is a part of a trilogy which includes Thursday released in August of the same year and Echoes of Silence issued in December. In June, House of Balloons was named as one of ten shortlisted nominees of 2011 Polaris Music Prize but eventually lost to Arcade Fire's The Suburbs. On December 21, 2011 at 11:07 p.m. EST Tesfaye released his highly anticipated third mixtape Echoes of Silence. The Weeknd's site crashed shortly after due to the large number of downloads. The Weeknd quickly provided a Hulkshare link to keep the album available while the official site was down.
Taylor Alison Swift (born December 13, 1989) is an American singer-songwriter and occasional actress. Raised in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania, Swift moved to Nashville, Tennessee at the age of fourteen to pursue a career in country music. She signed to the independent label Big Machine Records and became the youngest songwriter ever hired by the Sony/ATV Music publishing house. The release of Swift's self-titled debut album in 2006 established her as a country music star. "Our Song", her third single, made her the youngest sole writer and singer of a number one song on the country chart. She received a Best New Artist nomination at the 50th Grammy Awards.
Swift's second album, Fearless, was released in late 2008. Buoyed by the chart success of the singles "Love Story" and "You Belong with Me", Fearless attracted a crossover audience and became the top-selling album of 2009. The record won four Grammy Awards, with Swift becoming the youngest ever Album of the Year winner. Fearless also received Album of the Year plaudits at the American Music Awards, Academy of Country Music Awards and Country Music Association Awards, making it the most awarded album in country music history. In 2010, Swift released her third album, Speak Now, which sold over one million copies in its first week. She then embarked on the 111-date Speak Now World Tour, which was attended by over 1.6 million fans and has become one of the highest-grossing concert tours of all time. The album's third single, "Mean", won two Grammy Awards for Best Country Song and Best Country Solo Performance. Swift is currently recording her fourth studio album, due for release in the fall of 2012.

Late night broadcast
The TV looks at me with its blue eyes
No matter how often I change the channel
I can't escape that gaze
No matter how many times I look in the fridge
It's the same answer, an answer I'm used to hearing
The timelimit is about up
I need more time, let me be
Oh no, this is a parody
But to me, it's my life story
Without waiting for me, the clock
Pretends not to know anything
I know, it's a common story
But to me, it's my life story
Not being some copy of someone else
I'll write the rest of it from now
Facing the same way with everyone else
It's the freeway
It's just a coincidence
When the road split, it was sudden
Hurry me to the seventh floor, please
The elevator is unusually small
But no one else is here, so I feel safe
Set me free from "thoughtfulness"
Oh no, everything's a parody
But to everyone, it's a true story
Without putting any strength into it
You pretend that you don't need anything
I know a couple that looks just like us
But they do nothing but argue
Without putting much priority on it
I'll read the rest of it from now
Oh no, this is probably a parody
I'm sure for someone, it's a fake story
I can't wear any shoes but my own
That's alright, since I can walk like that
I know, it's a common story
But to me, it's a real story
Without waiting for the rest of it

here i stand again on the other end watching TV screens and all the magazines i see....something's wrong with what we've become, we are so numb and why don't we see the real life instead of fame and all the money people make? this is music from my soul don't care much product is sold. don't you see the tragedy? don't you live the parody they're taking your sould away. don't you see the tragedy? don't you live the parody when everyone just sounds the same. got to break away from the same thing day to day. corporate control on us. the media takes aim to get inside your brain. the rat race is never won so stand and do not run.
This is the story about a girl named Slutty.
Early morning, she wakes up
With a moan, moan, moan from the bed
It's time for make-up, see through clothes The horror all the pimps are waiting for
They go...
"Isn't she slutty, this Hollywood girl?"
And they say...
She's so sluty, she's a slut
But she cries,cries, cries every night in bed, thinking...
This guy isn't very good,
But at least I get paid right?
Full of herself, full of plastic
and every guy thinks she is fantastic
But she really makes me wanna throw up
Annoying is her siging , and she keeps on winning
Will someone please make her stop
They go...
"Isn't she slutty, this Hollywood girl?"
And they say...
She's so sluty, she's a slut
But she cries,cries, cries every night in bed, thinking...
This guy isn't very good,
But at least I get paid right?
Best slut, and the winner is...Sluty!"
"I'm Justin Timberfake for Guys Who Do Slutty standing outside the arena waiting for Sluty."
"Oh my god...here she comes!" "Sluttty!
Isn't she sluty, this Hollywood girl?
She is so sluty, but why does she cry?
If there are pimps missing in her life
At least she still gets paid right?
She's so sluty, she's a slut
But she cries,cries, cries every night in bed, thinking...
This guy isn't very good,
But at least I get paid right.

Eminem and Hailie: Okay then! Everybody listen up!
Eminem: I'm goin' to hell! Who's comin' with me???!?
Hailie: Somebody please help him! I think my dick's gone crazy...
Verse 1
There's no mountain I can't climb, there's no tower too high, no plane that I can't learn how to fly/what do I gotta do to get through to you, to show you there ain't nothin' I can't take this chainsaw to?/Fuckin' brains, brawn and brass balls, I cut'em off, and got'em pickled and bronzed in a glass jar inside of a hall/ with my framed autographed sunglasses with Elton John's name on my drag wall, I'm out the closet, I've been lyin' my ass off/All this time me and Dre been fuckin' with hats off (Suck it, Marshall). So tell Laura and her husband to back off/ before I push this muthafuckin' button and blast off and launch one at these Russians and that's all/blow every fuckin' thing except Afghanistan on the map off. When will it stop? When will I knock the crap off?/Hailie, tell 'em baby,( My Dick's Lost It!!)
Chorus
There's really nothin' else to say, I... I can't explain it/I think my dick's gone crazy / A little help from Hailie Jade, won't you tell 'em baby/I think my dick's gone crazy / There's nothin' you could do or say that could ever change me/I think my dick's gone crazy/There's no one on earth that can save me, not even Hailie/I think my dick's gone crazy
Verse 2
It's like my bitch always told me, rana rana rana rana rana rana rana rana rana rana and codeine and/ goddammit you little bitchfucker if you ain't got nuthin' nice to say then don't say nuthin'/.....uh, fuck that shit mother eat a bitchfuckin' dad, chew on a prick and lick/a million bitchfuckin' cocks per second, I'd rather put out a bitchfuckin' gospel record/I'd rather be a pussy whipped mother, eat pussy, and have pussy lips glued to my face with a clit ring in my nose then quit bringin' my flows/ quit givin' me my ammo. Can't you see why I'm so mean? If y'all leave me alone this wouldn't be my M.O./I wouldn't have to go, eenee, meenee, meini, mo, catch a homo by his toe, man I don't know no more/am I the only fuckin' one who's normal any more?/Dick...
Chorus
Verse 3
My songs can make you cry, take you by surprise at the same time, can make you dry your eyes with the same rhyme/see what you're seein' is a genius at work, which to me isn't work, so it's easy to misinterpret it at first/cus when I speak, it's tongue-in-cheek, I'd yank my fuckin' teeth before I'd ever bite my tongue/I'd slice my gums, get struck by fuckin' lightning twice at once and die and come back as Vanilla Ice's son/and walk around the rest of my life spit on, and kicked and hit with shit everytime I sung/like R. Kelly as soon as "Bump and Grind" comes on. More pain inside of my brain than the eyes of a little girl/ inside of a plane aimed at the World Trade, standin' on Ronnie's grave, screamin' at the sky, till clouds gather, it's Clyde Mathers and Bonnie Jade/and that's pretty much the gist of it, the parents are pissed but the kids love it. 9 millimeter heater stashed in 2 seaters with meat cleavers/I don't blame you, I wouldn't let Hailie listen to me neither...
Chorus
Hailie:
Crazy
Ha Ha Ha
You're Funny Dick!

I was driving along in old mexico,
I got lost and didnt know which way to go,
i was confused i was late and i was in a fog,
i ran over the taco bell dog,
i felt that smush and i said oh Mama,
my lowrider squashed that little chiwawa,
i prayed for forgivness in a cinagougue,
i ran over the taco bell dog,
if i am caught they will put me in a cell with 20 locks,
unless i can pin it on jack in the box,
ill be wipped and beaten and then ill be flogged,
i ran over the taco bell dog,
his last words were yoku el here mexico,
i flattend that pup and to hell i will go,
i should have skipped driving and gone for a jog,
i ran over the taco bell dog,
i ran over the taco bell dog.
Happened one day in the studio
Dancing around in a do-si-do
The purple monstrosity was waving his arms
We were falling victim to his evil charms
He brushed against a candle and he started to smoke
And now we're all laughing at the dinosaur choke
Oh boy, Barney's on fire!
It's what we've always desired
We'll watch the flames get higher
Just don't try to put him out
(kids sayin "kill him" in the background)
Purple fur was flying ashes everywhere
And all of the kids just continued to stare
The guy inside the suit, he started to yell
We probably should've helped him but what the hell
He threw himself violently against the wall
He fell to his knees and he tried to crawl away
Oh Boy, Barney's on fire!
This is our secret desire
We'll watch the flames burn higher
But dont you try to put him out
(break it down for me fellas!)
Barney: I love you...you love me
(Barney Screaming)
Oh boy, Barney's on fire!
This is what we've always desired
Wont you help us fan the flames higher
And you better not try to put him out
Barney's no longer ignited
We're feeling somewhat slighted
He's laying in a heap on the floor
We poked him with a stick cause we had to be sure he was dead
Ohhhh my goodness I cannot beleive this!
Did you see that man?
Oh my god, she got a thong on to the beach?
Baby with all that cell-u-lii-te you got going on down there you got to wear a beach blanket..not a beach towel ok?
OO that gut's so sandalous,
and you know that girl can't handle it,
eating that twinkie like a big old witch,
and a look in her eyes like she want some fried fish.
She like to eat at the buffet spot,
she will eat everything even crumbs and drops, macaroni and cheese,
she hit the whole pot.
She is eating chalupalopa!
She eats chicken by the truck, truck, truck. hams like what? what? what?
baby tuck your gut, gut, gut.
I think I'll sing it again!
she eats chicken by the truck, truck, truck. hams like what? what? what?
all night long...
you'll never feel that thonggg!!!
Oh baby! look at that fatass go flap, flap, flap, flap,flap!
I hate when that but goes fladap fladap.
I hate it when your flap goes fladap! fladap!
I think you need to do some situps.
Cause that thong sure dont fit you mommy.
OHHH my goodness uncle!
It's to big!
