MASHUP — While all of my parodies use the tune of one other song and follow its rhyme scheme and structure to tell some related or unrelated story, sometimes the unrelated story is taken from another song. I find the term mash-up mashup, suggested by Tony Fabris in 2007, handy to describe this technique. (The usualy definition of mash-up is something done with two recordings, whereas this is something done in songwriting.

And sure enough, the toad is really <u>wrapped</u> around the finger, looking very passionate, for a toad. He is so determined to have sex that he has not even noticed that his partner (a) is not, technically, a toad, and (b) is attached to an organism roughly two thousand times his size. He doesn't care! <u>He's getting laid!</u>
