Is there a name for the process of putting new words to an old song?

It's kind of like a spoof, but I feel like there is another name for this process when it involves rewriting lyrics specifically.

Anyone know if it has a special name?

Hi Jack,

1 Lot 7,8,9 award proposal
For your information herewith the reasons why I propose the awards lot 7, 8 and 9 to A, B and C respectively.

Of the various combinations this one is only 2,000 Euro *over the cheapest combination*. A neglegible amount compared to the 2.5 million contracts value.

I am not sure anymore if my grammar is correct. I was always taught that you 'take from' and 'bring to'. It seems people interchange these all the time and I find it rather weird. For instance, someone will say to me : "do you want me to take someting to you for lunch?" What is the correct way of saying it? I know I'm picky, but that's the way that I am....:)

There is nothing joyful about stealing a car and maybe killing someone during a few hours of madness, so why are such individuals called "joy-riders"?

Where did the term originate?

Also, "goodbye".. there is never anything GOOD about saying bye to someone.. so why is it so called? .. and again, where did it originate?

I'm writing a poem && can't find ANY word or words to rhyme with beautiful. Please help!

Perhaps one that the speaker doesn't even realize they say because it is so ingrained in the English language.

Perhaps one so outdated, only your Grandma uses it.

Better yet, one that the speaker got wrong... like "doggy-dog world."

intransitive, transitive, ditransitive, complex, prepositional, intensive? I know the number of complements is a big factor, but I have a hard time in identifying them without digramming the sentences, and even then I get confused. Please give examples if possible! Thanks!
