I'm pretty sure everyone knows what a parody is and if you don't let us explain to you what it is. 

A parody for those people who don't know, (if you don't then you must have been living under a rock for the last like 20 years) it's when people take songs and alters the words and meanings of the song and they post it online. A parody is meant to be funny, it is for your entertainment. The Google definition of Parody is, "an imitation of the style of a particular writer, artist, or genre with deliberate exaggeration for comic effect."

Now that you know what a parody is... Original 1   Story of My Life by One Direction has many interpretations on its meaning.  I believe that it means they are so in love with a girl that they want to ruin her so they can make her theirs.  Though this  may not be correct, this is only an interpretation.

 Parody 1    The parody linked to this is about 3 boys who keep tweeting One Direction but never get a reply. They are very sad and upset that none of the band members will reply or follow them on Twitter. The boys become obsessed with their electronic devices, waiting for at least one of them to do something to acknowledge that the boys exist on Twitter. These two video's are different because 1D is talking about being with a girl they care about that they want to ruin for any other guys, and the parody is about guys who are like obsessed with 1D and want them to follow them on Twitter but sadly they don't. In the parody the boys are pretty much heartbroken, but in the original version 1D wants their girl to be 'Broken inside.'

 

This is a good example of a parody since the meaning and words are completely altered.  It's amazing how if a person gets really creative they can change it so much.  Though some parodies only alter the meaning.  The original held a meaning of wanting to break someone, well the girl they loved.  The parody in way meant or gave a off the impression that the boys were breaking or getting hurt because One Direction didn't acknowledge them on Twitter.  The original described of bringing pain while the parody described having pain being brought upon them.

People usually choose songs that have a good beat and the words can be easily changed for a parody. Slow songs and rock songs are harder to make a parody for, so you usually never see one for those two genres in parody form.

This is usually because rock and/or slow songs have a specific meaning that can't and shouldn't really be changed.  Though people attempt to do parodies for these types of songs they usually fail. The reason for the failure is either because they can't alter the words to make them fit in with the beat or the video they made just didn't fit their parody.
