Songs
Back in the day, there was this crazy dude named "Weird Al" Yankovic. He had a gift for parodying songs and music videos of popular recording artists. Recently, Jimmy Fallon of Saturday Night Live fame carried that torch. I don't know if anyone really does that anymore, but I do occasionally hear funny song parodies on my favourite radio station, 99.9 Mix FM Virgin Radio Toronto, in the mornings.
In high school, I discovered that I have a similar talent of modifying song lyrics, except my intent wasn't always to be funny. I view my songs as legitimate pieces of work that happen to share the music of the original songs.
