3. J 28 Writing Assignment: 1. Download the lyrics to a popular song, your favorite song, or the song that annoys you the most. 2. Then rewrite it using humor, irony, exaggeration, absurdity, and silliness. TIP: switch the subject or context of the song. For example: The White and Nerdy characters are the opposite of the true characters depicted in Ridin’. Also in the SNL version of “Baby, it’s cold outside” the romantic persuasion of a woman to stay with a man is changed to Jimmy Fallon’s persuasion to have Cecily Strong engage in a one night stand which then backfires when she wants to be in a relationship with him. 3. Remember a parody is a funny imitation. Therefore, you need to keep the rhythm, rhyme, repetition, and structure of the song the same as the original. 4. Give your song a title. 5. When you finish, print out the original lyrics and attach them to your parody or copy them into your notebook.
