I am a big fan of Woody Allen's films. More than 20 years ago, I was watching one of his films that was a musical. Everybody was singing and dancing. In one scene a guy is singing a song in a  cab with a Sikh taxi driver. Suddenly the Sikh starts singing a Hindi song, in a voice similar to that of Rafi. I immediately went to the end credits to discover that  it was the RMIMer Sanjeev Ramabhadran singing!

Parody song is a comic song that has the same or very similar tune of a popular song but the words are changed. The earliest one I have heard is 'gaao gaao ai mere saadhoo' from MIss Frontier Mail (1936)

gaao gaao ai mere

It is based on the very popular 'jaavo jaavo ai mere saadho' from Pooran Bhagat (1933)

jaavo jaavo ai mere

Listen to Sati Nari (1965)
