Musical examples abound in Music/WeirdAlYankovic's discography. Specifically...
* "It's Still Billy Joel To Me" is a ''satire'' of "It's Still Rock 'n Roll to Me" by Music/BillyJoel. Al's lyrics take direct aim at Joel's career and style, including his tendency to chase fads and over-reliance on stock gimmicks.[[note]]Al himself has disowned the song as he feels it was ''too'' harsh, but Billy Joel himself enjoys it and admits that its points were valid.[[/note]]
* "Fat" is a ''parody'' of Music/MichaelJackson's "Bad". It copies the style and melody of the original to humorous effect, but does not make any comments about the original song or Jackson himself.

Keanu Reeves IS SUCH A BAD ACTOR HE REACHED OUT OF THE SCREEN TO BEAT MY DOG TO DEATH. ALSO HE'S DUMB. Don't do this.

There seems to be confusion here, elsewhere on the internet and in the wider world about what ''satire'' actually is. For example, Keanu Reeves said in an interview that he liked being "[[YouKeepUsingThatWord satirized]]" on the cover of ''Magazine/{{MAD}}''. However, Reeves's appearance on the front cover of Mad was a "caricature" and it doesn't help that MAD calls it satire, too. If even great minds of the 20th Century like Keanu Reeves are making this mistake, what chance do the rest of us have?

Satire is a genre of writing that criticizes and attacks vice, folly and abuse, particularly of ruling parties or those in power. It is marked by anger and a desire to change or destroy that which it attacks. It has a definite target and often uses humour to make a specific point. It does not simply "make fun" of a subject but seeks to inspire change. Ranges from the Horatian ("You need to laugh at yourself" - OK, that one is humor-related) to the Juvenalian ("You need to die").

Parody is the practice of copying the mannerisms, style or appearance of a work or its author's voice to make a point about that work (or sometimes unrelated other works). By adopting the guise of the attacked work, the artist reveals its inherent ridiculousness. Parody is generally gentler than satire and less venomous -- indeed, it is often good-natured or [[AffectionateParody affectionate]]. It only attacks the style and content of a fictional work and not real-life events. It is possible to use a parody as the basis for a satire, however. See also ParodyTropes.

A pastiche (from Italian ''pasticcio'', which is like a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pastitsio cross between meat pie and lasagna]]) is something that copies or mimics elements of another work's style, possibly in a humorous way, but usually just as an affectionate nod to another artist's work. While the artist may have made the pastiche in homage, the work itself does not necessarily make any points, favourable or unfavourable, about the original. In a sense, it is a collection of references. See also MusicalPastiche.
