Parody in popular music
The original use of the term "parody" in music referred to re-use for wholly serious purposes of existing music. In popular music that sense of "parody" is still applicable to the use of folk music in the serious songs of such writers as Bob Dylan, but in general, "parody" in popular music refers to the humorous distortion of musical ideas or lyrics or general style of music.
==Origins==
Before the 20th century popular song frequently borrowed hymn tunes and other church music and substituted secular words. ''John Brown's Body'', the marching song of the American Civil War, was based on the tune of an earlier camp-meeting and revival hymn, and was later fitted with the words "Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord", by Julia Ward Howe.〔("John Brown's Body" ), Oxford Companion to Music, Oxford Music Online, accessed 19 February 2012 〕 This practice continued into the First World War I, with many of the soldiers' songs being based on hymn tunes (for instance "When this lousy war is over", to the tune of "What a Friend We Have in Jesus"〔("Trench Songs – When this Lousy War is Over " ), The First World War Poetry Digital Archive, accessed 19 February 2012〕 and "We are Fred Karno's Army", to the tune of "The Church's One Foundation").〔("Trench Songs – We are Fred Karno's Army" ), The First World War Poetry Digital Archive, accessed 19 February 2012〕
Folk song has often been written to existing tunes, or slight modifications of them. This is another very old (and usually non-humorous) kind of musical parody that still continues. For instance, Bob Dylan took the tune of the old slave song "No more auction block for me" as the basis for "Blowin' in the Wind".〔("Bob Dylan, Blowin' in the Wind" ), ''Rolling Stone'', accessed 19 February 2012〕
