	Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music, Inc. (1993)
		The fact that 2 Live Crew's parody sold as part of a collection of rap songs says very little about the parody's effect on a market for a rap version of the original, either of the music alone or of the music with its lyrics.
		As to the music, this Court expresses no opinion whether repetition of the bass riff is excessive copying, but remands to permit evaluation of the amount taken, in light of the song's parodic purpose and character, its transformative elements, and considerations of the potential for market substitution.
		Because we hold that a parody's commercial character is only one element to be weighed in a fair use enquiry, and that insufficient consideration was given to the nature of parody in weighing the degree of copying, we reverse and remand.

		Parody of “Captain Jack and the Mermaid”, words and music by Meg Davis
		The copyright of the original lyrics and music remain with the holder(s) of the original copyright.
		But I identified so much with “Captain Jack” in its original form (all right, so maybe I thought “blacksmith” where it said “lady”) that I never would have had the perspective to parody it— until I heard Jane’s hilarious parody.

	The Obligatory "Weird Al" Page
		Yankovic has made an art out of parodying the "hip" music of today, and some people -- mostly kids from 8 years of age to their early teens -- regard the California native as a comedy god.
		Yankovic, who says he doesn't come from a musical background, always gets permission to parody songs.
		Yankovic's first parody was 1979's "My Bologna." The song, recorded in a bathroom, was a catchy take on the Knack's "My Sharona."

	Robert Christgau: Columns: December 1967
		They parody every popular music from thirties-croon to Supremes (no Supremes fan could entirely survive the sight of three hairy freaks prancing from mike to mike in a perfectly hideous and hilarious version of "Baby Love") and their music is the antithesis of soul: wooden beat, trite riffs, inane lyrics.
		But musical parody can satisfy for just so long, and Zappa's tastes in social satire are less than subtle--the "plastic people" he is always sniping at are an unoriginal and rather stationary target.
		His apparent motivation is distaste for everything except modern classical music and the alienation effect.

	Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music (1994) [92-1292]
		Acuff-Rose Music, Inc. sued 2 Live Crew and their record company, claiming that 2 Live Crew's song "Pretty Woman" infringed Acuff-Rose's copyright in Roy Orbison's "Oh, Pretty Woman." The District Court granted summary judgment for 2 Live Crew, holding that its song was a parody that made fair use of the original song.
		In reversing, the Court of Appeals held that the commercial nature of the parody rendered it presumptively unfair.
		Justice Souter wrote that the appellate court "erred in holding that 2 Live Crew had necessarily copied excessively from the Orbison original, considering the parodic purpose of the use." Justice Anthony M. Kennedy filed a concurring opinion.

	Court analysis essay
		They felt that the song in question was creatively different enough even though it copied the heart of the original in both lyrics and music.
		It is not all right for a parody to harm the commercial value of a copyrighted work through being mistaken for the original.
		2 Live Crew released the song anyway on their CD entitled, "As Clean As They Wanna Be." The song was identified as "Pretty Woman" by Orbison and Dees, published by Acuff-Rose Music.

	PARODY

		The U.S. Circuit Court decision that the parody of Roy Orbison's "Pretty Woman" by the rap group 2 Live Crew was copyright infringement ran contrary to prior case law allowing parody of original artworks without the new work constituting infringement The U.S. Supreme Court has since reviewed this case.

	US - Commercial Parody Upheld as Fair Use
		Accuf-Rose Music, Inc., the United States Supreme Court held that commercial use of a parody of the famous Roy Orbison song, "Oh, Pretty Woman", did not, in and of itself, prevent the parody from constituting fair use under 107 of the Copyright Act.
		Accordingly, the Court remanded the case to the district court for a determination of whether 2 Live Crew's copying of the opening bass rift was "excessive" in light of the parodic purpose of the work and the otherwise "transformative" nature of the parody.
		In order to be effective, the Court pointed out, it is usually essential for a parody to appropriate the "heart" of the parodied work, in this case the distinctive opening bass rift of the Roy Orbison version.

	Parody mass - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A parody mass is a mass that uses a piece of secular music, typically a fragment of a motet or chanson as part of its melodic material.
		The parody mass was a very popular model during the Renaissance: Palestrina alone wrote some 50-odd examples, and by the first half of the 16th century this style was the dominant form.
		The Council of Trent banned the parody mass (and the use of secular material in masses), but without much lasting effect.
