What are Parody's ?/
I looked it up in the Dictionary Dutch-English and I got "Parodie"...
Looked it up in a Dutch Dictionary and I got an explanation but I don't get it when people talk about Writing a Parody ??
Can someone explain to me ?? Thank you Smile

No, this is the wrong place. *moved to writing tips* Thanks.

A parody is a spoof, making fun of the original version of something.

What Firestarter said. For instance: Look up any of Weird Al Yankovich's songs. All of those are parodies.

My sister wrote this parody: http://www.youngwriterssociety.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5307&highlight=

It's sung to the tune of Michelle's Branch's "Everywhere" but the lyrics are all... scewed to make it funny. Smile
