The term hook likely goes back to the earliest days of songwriting because it refers to the part of the song intended to hook the listener: a catchy combination of melody, lyrics and rhythm that stays in the listener's head â something that songwriters from the dawn of time have wanted to achieve.
Parody music, or musical parody, involves changing or copying existing musical ideas or lyrics, or copying the particular style of a composer or artist, or even a general style of music. Although the intention of a musical parody may be humour, it is the re-use of music that is the original defining feature. In music, parody has been used for many different purposes and in various musical contexts: as a serious compositional technique, as an unsophisticated re-use of well-known melody to present new words, and as an intentionally humorous, even mocking, reworking of existing musical material, sometimes for satirical effect.
