Here's another one: "America The Beautiful" and "The Star Spangled Banner", two of the most recorded or performed songs in American history, are actually parodies of British tunes.

Not sure it's strictly a parody is it? It was rewritten by the person that wrote the original and performed by him as well.

Why not call it a parody? Although I can't think of any other artist who has (humorously or non-humorously--and intentionally ;)) parodied himself.

Interestingly, the Amer. Heritage Dictionary also adds:
The practice of reworking an already established composition, especially the incorporation into the Mass of material borrowed from other works, such as motets or madrigals.
I guess Johnny D's "Heinous Joy Your Man's Desiring" is a parody in all of these senses? ;)
