I want to change the lyrics in a song like weird al yankovic does to some of his songs like ugly girl is really barbie girl but with different lyrics and white and nerdy is ridin’ dirty. I want the voice to say it in the song also.
As a longtime fan of Al and a sometime lyric mutator myself, I usually concentrate on the original song’s rhyme scheme first (once I’ve decided on the overall theme of the parody). The next thing I do is work out a rough structure of what each line should say and try to work out the particular words each line would end with to match the original’s rhyming scheme. Once I have that much, it’s mainly a matter of playing with various words in the rest of each line to fit the original song’s beat as closely as possible while conveying the idea I decided the line should have.
