the difference between a parody and a cover is a parody is placed more into humor. same beat same sound, different lyrics. a cover is the same sound and same lyrics but of course different band or singer.for example micheal jackson has beat it and weird al created eat it. the cure did love song and 311 redid it.

Parodies

Parodies are poking fun at the song like Weird Al. Covers are performing the song as originally intended.

A cover is when a different artist performs the first artist's song. They don't change the words or the basics of the song.
Weird Al does parodies.

yes, they are absolutely parodies. A parody takes something and makes fun of it like instead of "Lord of the Flies" it's "Lord of the Fries" Weird Al Yankovic is the world king of parodies!
In contemporary usage, a parody is a work that imitates another work in order to ridicule, ironically comment on, or poke some affectionate fun at the work itself, the subject of the work, the author or fictional voice of the parody, or another subject. As literary theorist Linda Hutcheon (2000: 7) puts it, "parody...is imitation with a critical difference, not always at the expense of the parodied text." Another critic, Simon Dentith (2000: 9), defines parody as "any cultural practice which provides a relatively polemical allusive imitation of another cultural production or practice."
Parody exists in all art media, including literature, music, and cinema. Cultural movements can also be parodied. Light, playful parodies are sometimes colloquially referred to as spoofs. The act of such a parody is often called lampooning.

The only covers Weird Al has sone would probably be any of his polka songs. He doesn't change the words, he just sings them as a polka. "Bohemian Polka" is the only one that is a complete cover of the original song

Not all of them, he has some original material as well. His hits are parodies of other songs.

no they are parodies
cover songs are where some one else sings another artistist song in its entirety some times changing the tempo or instraments but never the words like marilin mansons cover of "tainted love"
