answer songs. Do I hear an echo? These verge on
parody, but invoke not Weird Al. The Detergents' "Leader of the
Laundromat", a funny reworking of The Shangri-Las' "Leader of the Pack" (one of
Leiber and Stoller's post-Atlantic 45s).
A semi-answer song: Buck Owens' "Cover of the Music City News", based on Dr. Hook's "Cover of the Rolling Stone", but since the songs were written for them by Shel Silverstein, the opportunist element is gone. You're not allowed to rip yourself off.
