1.A parody is a humorous or satirical imitation of a serious piece of literature or writing.

2. The two songs are pretty similar in my opinion. Except for the difference in the type of things "the girl can have". In T.I's song, he talks about the having whatever she likes as in expensive materials, while Weird Al talks about buying things for half price and getting jeans from the thrift store.

1. To imitate for purposes of ridicule or satire.

2. The song by Weird Al was good, almost as good as the original, the parody was prety funny.

1.parody- a copy of something

I didn't like wierd Al song. I thought it was stupid and pointless. I like T.I's song better because it makes sense and t.i has a better flow when he raps.

1. A parody is any humorous imitation, as of a person, event, etc.

2. The Weird Al song is pretty funny, and sadly true about how bad the economy is. but it was ok.
I've only heard some of the T.I.
song, but i know he's offering the
girl a bunch of expensive cool
stuff and weird al is offering
cheap stuff. I like the T.I. song because it sounds better
with the beat and stuff but I
like Weird Al's version cause his words are better/funnier.

the songs are similar because it still tell's what the girl can have but al's veiws are cheaper because of the economy now.i liked the song because it mock's what t.i say's.A parody in contemporary usage, is a work created to mock, comment on, or poke fun at an original work.

i think that weird al and t.i talks about too different things why because t.i is talking to a girl telling her that she can have anything or watever she like as long as she is with him and weird al its talking about the economy and how the enviorement around the world is going on and with taxes and gas going up and barley having money they can still have whatever they like.
Weird Al is basically dissing T.i because he is saying that he doesnt have to wait for about 2 or 3 weeks to release his song he gets his music out almost the day right after he records the song

1.the word parody means a humorous or satirical imitation of a serious piece of literature or writing.

2. Both songs are basically the same just with different lyrics. I dislike Al's version because it sounds very annoying and stupid. I like T.I.'s version more than Al's because it sounds a lot better.

I like the weird Al version better. His version is much more realistic. T.I version seems like he is just bragging about how rich he is. I would eat ramon noodles with weird Al any day

Weird Al song is more humorous and T.i. song is more about taking a girl out to extravegant places and giving her whatever she wants. Weird Al song says that he will give her ramen soup and bugerking.

Parody is the genre of literary composition represented by such imitations.

I think that the two songs are bascially alike but the only difference it the thing they both say the girls can have. Weird Al song about the things from a thrift store and T.I talks about the this that are expensive.

The song that weird Al is funny no doubt but its sterotyping black folk because he talks about tatter totts and the laandry mat and the county jail I like it but its kind of offensives

T.Is verision is better because he's trying to woo the woman but weird Al seems to be making fun

2.I don't like T.I's song because one I am not of fan of rap and two his song speaks of how he will allow a woman to use him for his money. Weird Al's song was kind of weird and became super annoying after the first minute but it was better than T.I 's song any day.

The songs are pretty much alike. They both talk about a certain girl and telling them that they could have "what ever you like". But on the other hand, T.I.'s song is telling the girl that she can have all of these expensive things and Weird Al is saying that he'll take his girl out for Burger King. I personally could careless for Weird Al's song because it's just weird...

I like t.i's part on whatever you like. I like the song beacuse the song is tight and i enjoy listening to it.


The other part of what ever you like is kind of steal to me ,well thats my opinion.

A parody is like artist work that is imitated,but in a diffrent way of the regular song.

Parody it means as a copy of a song or using a dounument.

The song that Al made was dumb he was just using his beat and making his own verse to it. which was not a good choice to do. Everybody is going look at him werid now.
