%%
Taking a work that's a member of a certain genre, and doing it just the same, except as a different genre. For example, taking a rap song and getting a barbershop quartet to sing it; or showing a comedy-adventure from the SympatheticPOV of the villain, making it a tragic drama; or just taking a page from a famous novel and adding in the stylistic quirks of a completely different writer.

Can be applied to any form of art that can be categorized.

RecycledInSpace ''can'' be this, but usually isn't. Generally [[TheCoverChangesTheMeaning changes the meaning]]. For music, contrast with SuspiciouslySimilarSong, where the intention is to resemble the original as closely as possible while still avoiding copyright-breaking. This is one form of JustForFun/XMeetsY. Don't confuse it with {{Pastiche}}, which is when a genre is imitated as closely as possible by a new work. AdvertisingByAssociation is when this is openly invoked as a selling point; sometimes it is an example and sometimes not (in those cases, it's another work from the same creator, with another style), but the executives surely ''want'' you to think it is.

Compare {{Homage}} when an original work makes a deliberate tribute to another work. See also {{Pastiche}} and MusicalPastiche.

[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
* ''Manga/{{Pluto}}'' is ''Manga/AstroBoy'' in the style of ''Anime/{{Monster}}''. Yes, really. And, if that weren't enough, it's actually ''really good''.
* An omake chapter of the ''Manga/SgtFrog'' manga shows the series as a chapter of ''Anime/{{Monster}}''. The Keronians are somehow even sillier-looking when drawn in the style of Naoki Urasawa.
* The style of the character designs and {{angst}}y, [[MindScrew surreal]] nature of the plot of ''Anime/ShamanicPrincess'' encourages comparisons to Creator/{{CLAMP}}. In fact, the Creator/CentralParkMedia release of the series actively invoked such comparisons, even though CLAMP had nothing to do with ''Shamanic Princess''. However, the character designer had previously worked on ''Manga/MagicKnightRayearth''.
* ''Anime/LaMaisonEnPetitsCubes'' is a Japanese anime that looks nothing like Japanese anime. It is done in a hand-drawn style that evokes French animation (note the French-language international title).
* ''Manga/KaguyaSamaLoveIsWar'' is a high school romantic comedy in the style of ''Manga/DeathNote''.

* Daniel Mitsui has done a number of drawings of Biblical scenes and European Catholic saints in the style of Japanese prints. Examples with analogues to specific Western works include:

Sikoryak's ''Masterpiece Comics'' is a collection of famous works of literature in the style of classic newspaper comics, including Creator/FranzKafka's ''Literature/TheMetamorphosis'' in the style of ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'', ''Literature/WutheringHeights'' in the style of ''ComicBook/TalesFromTheCrypt'', an abridged version of ''Theatre/WaitingForGodot'' starring WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButthead, and other weirdness.
* ''ComicBook/DoomsdayClock'' is effectively a Franchise/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica story done in the style of ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}''. Creator/GeoffJohns goes to impressive lengths to replicate the writing style of Creator/AlanMoore, down to the nine-panel grid, VisualPun-based art/narration synergy, and drip-feed WorldBuilding.
* ''ComicBook/TheUltimates'' is similar to ''ComicBook/TheAuthority'', another series that Millar and Hitch worked on.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Comic Strips]]
* The Great Comic Strip Switcheroo of April 1, 1997, was this. Forty-six nationally syndicated comic strip artists traded strips for a day, so that you had, for example, Bill Keane doing ''ComicStrip/{{Dilbert}}'' in his own style and Scott Adams doing the same for ''ComicStrip/TheFamilyCircus''.

* If one is ''very'' charitable, the Creator/HansVonHozel story ''Glitch City'' is ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' in the style of ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid2SonsOfLiberty''.
* ''Fanfic/TwilaTheGirlWhoWazInLuvWithAVampyre'' (sic) is ''Literature/{{Twilight}}'' in the style of [[Fanfic/MyImmortal Tara Gilesbie]].

* From 2012 until November 2014, fanfic writer Creator/{{Yuuummy}} wrote a wealth of [[MissingEpisode now-lost]] fanfics that put Anime/PrettyCure in the style of Franchise/SuperSentai. This is a list:

* ''Fanfic/RocketshipVoyager'' is ''Series/StarTrekVoyager'' written as a 1950's science fiction magazine story.
* FanVid "trailers" for movies that make them out to be an entirely different genre have become popular lately. Such works have a home on the Web at [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1AXWu-gGX6JadJEiXPLdjoFF_kK9lKqE Cineflix]],[[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLusYuStjel-VcBOylbffDoSpNjsF-gNqm Trailer Max]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lkp4dvgCRmw&list=PLzqVS0Y1WRPZgfLHlK31V-6qaIbQs91Jz The Unusual Suspect]]

** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_mW8mBzmHo The Wicker Man]]'' -- The Creator/NicolasCage version of ''Film/TheWickerMan2006'' as an ''intentional'' comedy.
** There were also numerous "Brokeback" fake trailers to make other films look homoerotic in the vein of ''Film/BrokebackMountain'', such as ''Broke Film/BackToTheFuture1''.
** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKNDml12Big Monty Python and the Holy Grail Modern Trailer]]'' — the [[Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail classic Python film]] as a straight action-adventure, with a few too many of the audio and visual gimmicks in every contemporary trailer for such films whether needed or not.
** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLyNMSkTiGg Star Wars (Guardians of the Galaxy Style!) ]]'' is a particularly good one. Especially if you think of ''Spirit in the Sky'' as the Force...
** ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkwdYSn3Uws Elf]]'' - ''Film/{{Elf}}'' as a thriller, that implies Buddy is a schizophrenic who lives in some childlike fantasy

[[folder:Films -- Animation]]
* ''WesternAnimation/TheBookOfLife'' features Mexican guitar versions of Mumford And Sons' "I Will Wait", Music/{{Radiohead}}'s "Creep" and Music/ElvisPresley's "Can't Help Falling In Love".
* [[https://www.facebook.com/mylittlepony/videos/1172903602727075/?permPage=1 This advert]] for ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirlsFriendshipGames'' uses stop-motion of actual merchandise reminiscent of Aardman Animations, best known for ''WesternAnimation/WallaceAndGromit''.
* Advertisements and the credits sequence of ''WesternAnimation/KuboAndTheTwoStrings'' heavily used a Japanese-style cover of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" by Music/TheBeatles.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsonsMovie'' has Music/GreenDay perform the show's opening theme... um... a capella? Or would that be considered in the style of ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButthead''? Anyway, it's a punk rock version of ''The Simpsons''.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
* A hybrid film-music example appears in one scene of ''Film/{{Amadeus}}'', in which Mozart, as party entertainment, plays "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" in the styles of various composers suggested by onlookers, with a humiliating TakeThat at Salieri.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZaLo0JfT6E Victor Borge]] must have seen that play.
** Mozart did, in fact, write a series of piano variations on the tune of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star," though the words we know hadn't been written yet. Don't remember if they're meant to be imitating specific composers, or just different musical styles.
*** Just a standard set of Mozart variations on a theme. "Standard" for Mozart being "Masterwork" for anyone else, but there you have it.
*** It did have lyrics, but different ones. It's a Christmas song in German.
* At the end of ''Film/TheHangover'', a soft rock band at a wedding does a cover of 50 Cent's "Candy Shop."
* The surrealist Music/BobDylan biopic ''Film/ImNotThere'' uses five actors (and [[Creator/CateBlanchett one actress]]) to portray different characters inspired by Dylan's ever-changing persona, each of whom is in a separate storyline shot in a different, sometimes self-consciously imitative style:
** Creator/ChristianBale's segment is a FauxDocumentary
** Creator/CateBlanchett's is shot in the style of Creator/FedericoFellini's Film/EightAndAHalf
** Richard Gere's was inspired by Sam Peckinpah's "hippie westerns" of the 1960s
** Creator/HeathLedger's was inspired by the films of Jean-Luc Godard.
* Does anyone notice that the second opening song that accompanies "Bella Notte" in the intro to ''WesternAnimation/LadyAndTheTramp'' ("Peace on Earth") sounds like a harmony for "Silent Night" by Joseph Mohr and Franz Xaver Gruber?
* In the background of a bar scene in ''Film/BloodSimple'', the [[Creator/TheCoenBrothers Coen Brothers]]' debut film, you can hear a country version of the theme music from ''Film/ChariotsOfFire''.
* The telethon at the end of ''Film/TheMuppets2011'' includes a barbershop quartet (comprising Sam, Rowlf, Link Hogthrob and Beaker) performing Music/{{Nirvana}}'s "Smells Like Teen Spirit".
* A now defunct website advertising a proposed ''Comicstrip/{{Bananaman}}'' film featured a full-orchestral version of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hq2KXudEjkI the cartoon's theme tune]] in the style of Music/JohnWilliams's ''Film/{{Superman|TheMovie}}'' theme.
* Based on its [[ThoseWackyNazis subject matter]] and [[SignatureStyle cinematography style]], reviews have noted how ''Film/JojoRabbit'' seems to be Creator/TaikaWaititi making a Creator/MelBrooks movie by way of Creator/WesAnderson.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Literature]]
* Creator/GKChesterton wrote a set of [[http://www.cse.dmu.ac.uk/~mward/gkc/books/kingcole.html three variations on Old King Cole,]] in the styles of [[Creator/AlfredLordTennyson Tennyson]], Creator/WBYeats, and [[Creator/WaltWhitman Whitman]]. [[https://books.google.com/books?id=2qU2AQAAMAAJ&pg=PA165#v=onepage&q&f=false Another version]], rarely or never reprinted, also includes sections in the styles of Creator/RobertBrowning and A. C. Swinburne.
* Creator/RudyardKipling produced an entire book of [[strike: poetry]] verse, ''The Muse Among the Motorcars'' in which various classical poets wrote about their experiences with automobiles, in their characteristic styles. For instance, "Horace" wrote an ode entitled ''[[GeniusBonus Carmen Circulare]]'' and "Chaucer" came up with ''The Engineer's Tale'' in rhyming couplets in YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe; and of course there is a scene from "Shakespeare" complete with footnotes from ''all'' of his commenters.
* Ian Doescher has made a career of adapting popular movies and famous literature as if they were plays written by Creator/WilliamShakespeare, in Elizabethan English and iambic pentameter. He started with the ''Franchise/StarWars'' movies (''Verily a New Hope'', ''The Empire Striketh Back'', ''The Jedi Doth Return'', ''The Phantom of Menace'', ''The Clone Army Attacketh'', ''The Tragedy of the Sith's Revenge'', ''The Force Doth Awaken'', ''Jedi the Last'', and ''The Merry Rise of Skywalker'') and went on to adapt ''Literature/AChristmasCarol'', ''Much Ado About Film/MeanGirls'', ''Get Thee... Film/BackToTheFuture1!'', ''The Taming of the Film/{{Clueless}}'', a Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse ''Avengers'' collection (composed of ''Assemble, ye Avengers''; ''Lo, the Age of Ultron''; ''Infinity War's Tale''; and ''The Endgame's Afoot''), and classic horror stories ''Literature/{{Frankenstein}}'', ''Literature/TheStrangeCaseOfDrJekyllAndMrHyde'', and ''Literature/{{Dracula}}''.
* Following Doescher's Shakespearean versions, ''The Odyssey of Star Wars'' by Jack Mitchell is ''Rogue One'' and the original trilogy in the style of ancient epic poetry.
* "The Jungle Rot Kid on the Nod" is a Literature/{{Tarzan}} story written by Creator/PhilipJoseFarmer, in the style of Creator/WilliamSBurroughs.
* The book ''Playing Word Games'' includes a game called "William S. Burroughs' Tarzan", in which the object is to pastiche a work of literature in the style of a different author. It includes an example by SF author Colin Greenland of ''Literature/WinnieThePooh'' by Creator/JRRTolkien.
* Creator/DavidLangford has sometimes quoted his favourite example of the game as being ''Literature/WinnieThePooh'' by Creator/AlfredBester. Which is, of course, titled ''Tigger, Tigger'' (or, in the US, ''The Stairs My Destination'').
* ''Scream For Jeeves'' by Peter Cannon comprises Creator/HPLovecraft stories in the style of Creator/PGWodehouse.
* ''[[https://www.amazon.com/H-P-Lovecrafts-Cthulhu-Beginning-Readers/dp/1568821123 The Call of Cthulhu for Beginning Readers]]'' is a retelling of ''Literature/TheCallOfCthulhu'' in the style of Creator/DrSeuss.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
* Bill Bailey delivered a (since removed from [=YouTube=]) classic pub gag in the style of Creator/GeoffreyChaucer.
* ''Series/DoctorWho'':
** [[Recap/DoctorWho30thASDimensionsInTime "Dimensions in Time"]] features a Music/PetShopBoys-styled version of the show's main theme. Creator/JohnNathanTurner asked the band to do a rearrangement of the theme, but they were too busy, so this was the next best thing.
** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E742 "42"]] is ''Doctor Who'' in the style of ''Series/TwentyFour'', complete with real-time format and a timer counting down how much time is left.
** When the Doctor and Clara arrive on the OrientExpress [-IN SPACE!-] in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS34E8MummyOnTheOrientExpress "Mummy on the Orient Express"]], the dining car is an almost exact replica of TheRoaringTwenties, including a singer performing "[[Music/{{Queen}} Don't Stop Me Now]]" as swing.
* ''Series/{{Glee}}'' occasionally does this with some of their covers.
** Music/BritneySpears gets a few of these, most notably "U Drive Me Crazy" as a heartfelt love ballad (mashed together with [[Music/{{Aerosmith}} "Crazy"]]), "3" as an acoustic sultry love song, and "Toxic" as a Bob Fosse-like routine.
** [[Theatre/MyFairLady "The Rain in Spain"]] in the style of punk rock.
** [[Music/{{TLC}} "No Scrubs"]] in the style of a boy band.
** Not to mention the many a cappella covers done by the Warblers.
** Most infamously, they did a cover of "Baby Got Back" that was identical to Music/JonathanCoulton's acoustic folk-rock remake without crediting him for the arrangement (he wasn't too pleased about that).
* Not exactly this, but ''Series/{{Jeopardy}}'' occasionally has a category of song lyrics, which are read in regular speaking fashion by Alex Trebek or Johnny Gilbert. It's harder than you'd think.
** It's also ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UaC0ceVXNg hilarious]]''.
* ''Series/KamenRiderDenO'''s "Double-Action" has seven different versions, each in a different musical style; Eurobeat, ska, enka, hip-hop, pop music, death rock, piano instrumental, Arabian-sounding and a remix for the Reunion Show. One can only wonder what "Double-Action Plat Form" might have been like...
** Not to mention the remixes of the show's opening "Climax Jump" centered around each of the Imagin -- [[BoisterousBruiser Momotaros]] gets rock, [[TheCasanova Urataros]] gets ska, [[MightyGlacier Kintaros]] gets enka, and [[DanceBattler Ryutaros]] gets hip-hop, the last of which is actually used in show when Ryuta is busting moves.
* ''[[Series/LateNight Late Night with Jimmy Fallon]]'' features several genre-shifted covers done by Fallon himself:
** As Music/NeilYoung he covered ''Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir'''s theme song as a moody travel song.
** "Whip My Hair" as Neil Young.
** The theme from Series/CharlesInCharge as Music/BobDylan.
** Theme from ''Series/ReadingRainbow'' as Music/TheDoors.
*** With an absolutely spot-on recreation of the set from The Doors' 1967 Ed Sullivan appearance, just compare [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SyrUDC2w4Q the]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SyrUDC2w4Q two]].
** The guests do it too. The WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGummiBears [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BW2NuxOC8fU theme]] was covered by... Music/AliciaKeys.
** Fallon's tenure as host of ''Series/TheTonightShow'' has "Wheel of Musical Impressions", where he and someone else get assigned a random song (usually a kiddie tune/nursery rhyme) and a singer to perform it as.
* The current ''Series/LetsMakeADeal'' has done a similar sketch as a game called "Jukebox", where the contestant picks from a selection of [=CDs=], and Creator/WayneBrady and Jonathan Mangum improvise a song about a hidden prize in the style of a musician or genre listed on the CD.
* ''Series/PersonOfInterest:'' the episode "[[Recap/PersonOfInterestS04E10 If-Then-Else]]" used two pieces of electronic music prominently, "Fortune Days" by The Glitch Mob, and "If-Then-Else" by regular composer Ramin Djawadi, an arrangement of several of the show's [[{{Leitmotif}} established character themes]] InTheStyleOf The Glitch Mob.
* In early seasons of ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' (not to be confused with Howard Cosell's failed show of the same name), Bill Murray would play "Nick Silver", a lounge singer who would 'loungify' anything - even the theme to ''Franchise/StarWars'', making up lyrics if there were none.
* A regular feature of ''Shooting Stars'', in which Vic Reeves would sing a song in the "Club Style", to be guessed by the panellists. The resulting lyrics would be unintelligible, and only slightly less so when sung in the "correct" manner.
* A regular feature of ''Series/WhoseLineIsItAnyway'', in which the genres would be suggested by the audience, immediately before (or during) the skit.
* The ThemeTune for ''Series/{{Blackadder}}'', originally written by Howard Goodall as a pastiche of bombastic period-adventure themes, was reworked for subsequent series. ''Blackadder II'' uses a pseudo-Elizabethan instrumental version in the opening titles and has it sung by an InUniverse balladeer in the closing ones. For ''Third'' it becomes a minuet in the opening and a round in the closing. In ''[[YetAnotherChristmasCarol Christmas Carol]]'' it's a carol sung by a choir. And ''Goes Forth'' turns it into a military march.
* The music in ''Series/{{Bridgerton}}'' includes various pop songs reworked into Regency-style music.
* ''Series/ThatsMyJam'': Possible categories on "Wheel of Impossible Karaoke" include performing a popular song in a completely different musical style (as host Creator/JimmyFallon has been known to do), or singing one song's lyrics over the backing music of another song.
* ''Series/{{Monk}}'': The episode "Mr. Monk and the Rapper" features a rap version of the show's theme song "It's a Jungle Out There" that is performed by Music/SnoopDogg, the episode's special guest star.
* The first seven episodes of ''Series/{{WandaVision}}'' are each done in the style of sitcoms from a different decade.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Magazines]]
* ''Magazine/AmigaPower'' had frequent sections called 'In The Style Of', normally depicting Platform/{{Amiga}} games in the style of other Amiga games.
* ''New York'' magazine used to have competitions for the readers which often featured this trope. One famous example asked the readers to retell a joke (about a kangaroo in a bar) in the style of a famous writer. Contributions included Poe's "The Raven" ("At these prices? Nevermore.") and Creator/IngmarBergman ("The action is set in a bar or any spiritual wasteland. The bartender is underlining in a copy of Hegel when a kangaroo enters ...") And then there was the Henny Youngman version, which simply retold the original joke provided by the competition editor, word-for-word.
* In ''[[Magazine/{{MAD}} MAD Magazine]]'' #289 (September 1989), an article wondered how the "waiter, there's a FlyInTheSoup" joke would sound as told by different stand-ups popular at the time. The writer nailed the styles of Creator/DavidLetterman, Creator/SamKinison, Creator/GeorgeCarlin, Creator/RobinWilliams, and others. A similar article appeared twenty years later (#489, May 2008).
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Podcasts]]
* On ''Podcast/TheFantasticast'', When they decided to commemorate the release of ''Film/FantasticFour2015'' by doing a recap of everything they had covered so far, they did it in the style of ''Podcast/JayAndMilesXPlainTheXMen''. They called the episodes "Steve And Andy Fan-'Splain The FF".
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Radio]]
* ''Radio/ImSorryIHaventAClue'', as well as having its One Song to the Tune of Another round, has also taken various topics and performed them in the style of various types of music (e.g. blues, calypso, even madrigals). They've also taken songs and performed them as a duet, with one team member singing normally and the other playing a role and commenting on the action. For example:
-->'''Barry (as Lee Marvin):''' #I was born under a wand'ring star#\\
'''Graeme (as his hairdresser):''' No! ''I'' was born under a wand'ring star!\\
'''Barry:''' #Wheels are made for rolling#\\
'''Graeme:''' Mules are made to pack, always pop a pair in me suitcase...
** There's also a rarer round in which they sing a singer's song in the style of "his distant relative", with the same surname. For example, Louis Armstrong's ''What A Wonderful World'' in the style of Neil Armstrong:
--> '''Barry''': I see trees of green (mike scratch) red roses too (beep) I see them bloom (mike scratch) loving you (beep) and I think to myself, what a wonderful moon...
** There's also the round ''Stars In Their Ears'', where one panellist sings a song in the style of a celebrity. Creator/WillieRushton once sang a song in the style of Eartha Kitt, mixing in snatches of "Santa Baby" and an impression of Creator/OrsonWelles.
* Radio station {{jingle}}s are often designed to resemble the music played on the stations they're designed for. While sometimes the similarities are more vague, there are other times when a specific jingle is obviously inspired by a particular song or artist. For example, in 1964, PAMS Productions produced a series of jingles for New York's WABC based on [[Music/TheBeatles Beatles]] songs, and JAM Creative Productions would later produce some of Beatlesque cuts as part of their 1987 "Rockin' For America" series for WLS in Chicago (which also features a cut with that lyric based on Music/{{James Brown}}'s "Living In America").
* The AudioPlay/BigFinishDoctorWho audio drama ''Live 34'' is ''Series/DoctorWho'' in the style of a 24-hour news channel.
* The early-[[TheEighties 1980s]] BBC sketch comedy show ''[=RadioActive=]'' was a parody of commercial radio. [[OncePerEpisode It always included]] a spoof of a popular band of the day, the one in the first episode being "Meaningless Songs" by [[Music/TheBeeGees The Hee Bee Gee Bees]]. Although the parody group adopted a different name every episode (such as "The [=PCs=]" when they were spoofing Music/ThePolice), outside of the show they were known as "The Hee Bee Gee Bees" ever afterwards.
* As befitting its {{Retreaux}} style, several episodes of the ''Radio/DarkAdventureRadioTheatre'' series are homages to classic radio programs.
** Their adaptation of ''Literature/{{Dagon}}'' is done in the style of Creator/OrsonWelles' ''Radio/TheWarOfTheWorlds1938'', but [[VideoGame/XCOMTerrorFromTheDeep with sea creatures instead of aliens]] (with the nested homage of the report on the Deep Ones' attack on the Golden Gate ferry being a pastiche of Herbert Oglevee Morrison's famously overwrought coverage of the Hindenburg disaster).
** The original story ''The White Tree'' borrows heavily from the famed ''Clan of the Fiery Cross'' storyline from ''Radio/TheAdventuresOfSuperman'' radio show, particularly its accurate use of authentic (and authentically stupid) KKK organization and terminology.
** In a bit of RecursiveAdaptation, the adaptation of ''Literature/TheWhispererInDarkness'' is presented as a radio host playing a series of interviews and other audio recordings, not unlike BBC Radio 4's hit ''[[Radio/PleasantGreenUniverse Lovecraft Investigations]]'' series, which also features an episode based on ''Whisperer'' (two if you count the earlier radio drama ''Fugue State'' in the same continuity).

* There exists a one-act play entitled ''De-LEAR-ium'' which replays the opening scene of Shakespeare's ''Theatre/KingLear'' multiple times -- the first time as written, and each subsequent time in the style of an entirely different work or genre, including ''Franchise/StarWars'' (featuring the evil Kingth Learder) and ''Film/TheRockyHorrorPictureShow'' (with Lear as Frank N. Furter, and Gloucester and Cordelia as Brad and Janet).
* The play ''American Ma(u)l'' (sic). The show opens on Thomas Jefferson's plantation, with all of his slaves at work in the fields, singing a mournful-sounding work song... and after a moment, it becomes apparent that what they're singing is actually a re-do of Nelly's "Hot In Here".
* ''Theatre/TheMusicalOfMusicalsTheMusical'' takes a classic theatre plot (a woman can't pay her rent) and presents it in the styles of Rogers & Hammerstein, Stephen Sondheim, Jerry Herman, Andrew Lloyd Webber, and Kander & Ebb.
* ''Theatre/TwoGentlemenOfLebowski'' can be briefly summarised as ''Film/TheBigLebowski'' in the style of Creator/WilliamShakespeare.
* The whole point of ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSbtkLA3GrY The Hip Hop Shakespeare Company]]''

* ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qzk_53CNL9U Bigfoot]]'' from ''VideoGame/MapleStory'' sounds quite a bit like Kevin Schilder's work from the Heretic and Hexen games. This would count as a SuspiciouslySimilarSong except that while it fits the style of Schilder's music, it does not seem to sound like any specific song.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZP-tDsblgM Pursuit of Truth]] from ''VideoGame/{{Halo 2}}'' is more or less [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgdnu_G0rzo Leela]] from ''VideoGame/{{Marathon}}'' (Bungie's previous FPS) rearranged in the style of Music/{{Kraftwerk}}'s [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VXa9tXcMhXQ The Robots]].
* At the very end of the credits for ''VideoGame/{{Syndicate}}'' (2012), you hear an all-too-short jazz take on the theme.
* The ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' series has had tunes from past games remade in various styles over the years, both within and outside of the games. The well-known overworld theme from the original NES ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1'' has gotten the most attention, including an "a capella" version made with synthesized "voices" for ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine'' (which would subsequently be covered by actual a capella singing groups).
* A side effect of the "tears" in space-time in ''VideoGame/BioshockInfinite'' is Columbians picking up on songs from the future and writing their own versions. This leads to stuff like a ragtime version of "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" by Tears for Fears and a barbershop quartet singing an ''a capella'' rendition of "God Only Knows" from ''Music/PetSounds'' by Music/TheBeachBoys.
* The famous, retro, cartoony art style of ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' is based mainly on the art of Creator/JCLeyendecker, but elements from Norman Rockwell and Dean Cornwell influenced the game as well.
* A minor fad in the ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' fandom is to take music, make it sound distinctly Touhou-y, and title it "If X was composed by ZUN". This usually involves trumpets. For example, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCnHj996HDs this supermarket jingle.]]
** Floating Cloud, a band that converted ''Touhou'' music to ''Irish folk'' of all things. Behold [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpNvGNRlFaE U.N. Owen Was Her]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OJaBxlGu2U Flowering Night]].
** [[https://www.youtube.com/user/HertzDevil Hertz Devil]] produces ''VideoGame/MegaManClassic''-style {{chiptune}} remixes of ''Touhou'' songs, under the collective title ''Mega ZUN''.
* Between the publication of ''VideoGame/{{Doom}}'' and the coining of the term "first-person shooter" (a year or two at least), all other [=FPSes=] were invariably dubbed "''Doom'' clones".
* The Retro Hero {{DLC}}[=/=]PreOrderBonus for ''VideoGame/MightyNo9'' changes Beck's look to one very reminiscent of ''{{VideoGame/Minecraft}}''[='=]s playable characters, though this was probably not intentional.
* Background radio music in ''VideoGame/WolfensteinTheNewOrder'' comprises of German-language pastiches of [=1960s=] pop, [[{{Kayfabe}} supposedly]] released by [[http://www.neumondrecordings.com/en-gb/site Neumond Recordings]].
** One of the songs is ''House of the Rising Sun'' in the style of German ''heimatmelodie''.
** There's some BilingualBonus in the artist names - for example, "Die Kaefer" sound like early Music/TheBeatles.
* "Fever" from ''VideoGame/DrMario'' done [[http://soundcloud.com/larryinc64/dr-mario-fever-in-the-style-of-wipe-out-by-the-ventures in the style of]] "Wipe Out!" by Music/TheVentures.
* Mega Corp produced a UsefulNotes/{{synthwave}} [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73ohnNJgmLY medley]] of the Dark World, Light World, and Sanctuary themes from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast''.
* The advertisement for the collector's edition of ''VideoGame/SonicMania'' ([[https://twitter.com/sonic_hedgehog/status/778303430230102016 seen here]]) is done in the style of a typical '80s infomercial, complete with the endslate that typically ended '80s infomercials. The one for ''Sonic Mania Plus'' ([[https://youtu.be/oiFgaatXuRc seen here]]) is specifically done to recreate an old Sega Genesis infomercial which showed two televisions with Genesis and Super Nintendo games being played side-by-side, only in this case one of the televisions is playing ''Sonic Mania Plus'' and the other one is playing a generic AAA first-person shooter (it even includes the classic Sega shout at the end!).
* In ''Franchise/FinalFantasy'', the Chocobo theme is reinterpreted in various genres, starting out exclusively with Latin genres for ''IV'' and ''V'', before being put into every modern pop genre starting from ''VI''. This has included techno, surf rock a la "Surfin' USA", a 5-beat {{jazz}} arrangement a la "Take Five", swing, a "mod" arrangement similar to "Talking 'Bout My Generation", and eventually ending up (somehow) as screamo metal in ''XIII-2''.
* ''VideoGame/NotForBroadcast'': "Swell to Be a Man", a dance number song in the Telethon that was added in the Quality of Life Patch version, is done in the style of the songs of the [=1950s=]' Music/ElvisPresley. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmJImZPtlQ4 It has to be seen to be believed.]]
* The ''VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork Legacy Collection'' Original Soundtrack includes numerous pieces of background music re-arranged in a designated style (''e.g.,'' Pop Rock, Big Band, and R&B). The Pop Rock version of "Hometown" in particular sounds just like it came from the score for ''VideoGame/SonicColors''.

* A number of articles on the [[Website/TFWikiDotNet Transformers Wiki]] are written specifically with their characters in mind: The [[Franchise/TransformersGeneration1 Wheelie]] article is entirely in rhyme, much like his speaking pattern, while the articles of the various Starscream clones in ''WesternAnimation/TransformersAnimated'' are written to reflect the character, so the Liar's page is made to be entirely contradictory, the sycophant sucks up to everybody, etc...
** Special note must go to the page for [[http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Angry_Archer the Angry Archer]], which is entirely in YeOldeButcheredeEnglishe, including (hilariously) the ''episode titles'' of the story references.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYmBRsXr995owHHryHYPzFQ/videos Jon Sudano]]'s [=YouTube=] channel is this trope taken to its [[ExaggeratedTrope logical conclusion]]: he routinely covers hundreds of songs, only for ''[[OverlyLongGag every single song]]'' he substitutes the lyrics to Music/SmashMouth's [[MemeticMutation internet-infamous]] "All Star".
* Invoked in ''WebOriginal/DirtyLaundryAnAlternate1980s'' with the genre of "lounge metal", including Music/TwistedSister and Music/JohnDenver with "Thank God I'm a Metal Boy".
