The Rutles, originally seen in a TV Mockumentary, pastiche The Beatles. In some cases the pastiche was almost too close for comfort, as in the case of "Get Up and Go", which was almost banned from the soundtrack CD because of its resemblance to "Get Back". Fortunately Paul McCartney saw the joke, to the extent of performing the song himself.
Pastiche: an artistic work in a style that imitates that of another work, artist, or period.
An excellent example of a music video that uses homage is The Kill by 30 Seconds to Mars. This video uses locations, themes and iconography from the popular classic horror film The Shining. The band perform in a hotel very similar to The Overlook hotel featured in The Shining and the lead singer sits at a typewriter just as Jack Nicholson’s character who is a writer does in the film.Parody: an imitation of the style of a particular writer, artist, or genre with deliberate exaggeration for comic effect.
A good example of a parody song is Eminem - Lose It. The artist uses make cultural references and makes a mockery of famous celebrities and events in his music video for Lose It.
