Yes, and you will go to jail. lol no it is illegal to change copyrighted material but if you do a "misheard lyrics" video it's passing it off as if you missheard the lyrics and just typed them wrong these videos are usually very popular on YouTube

Yes, creating parodies of songs is generally considered fair use under copyright law, as long as the parody does not directly compete with the original work or negatively impact its market value. It is important to ensure that the parody clearly adds original commentary or transformative elements to the original song.
