"Use in a parody of some of the content of the work parodied" has been regarded as fair use in court decisions; it is generally associated with the fair uses of critique and commentary.

The parody must be satirizing the work itself: changing the lyrics of a song to mock the song itself has been found to be fair; changing the lyrics of a song to mock a politician, for example, has been found to be infringing.
