Mark (the OP) said he wanted the author for "I Hype the Songs." Nenah Sylver wrote it.

I like Adaptation. I adapted the Magi, works for me.

Mrrzy:
The "wise men" got delayed on their way to Bethlehem, but after a good night's sleep, God set them right:
"Wake up Magi, I think I've got something to say to you . . ."

I see from another thread that has recently re-surfaced that I used the term “partial parody” to describe one of my own songs, which uses the tune and just some of the words of an existing song, but has some verses which don’t follow the original lyrics at all.
But, yes, adaptation sounds fine.

The "parody Mass" usage Mo highlighted was what first came to mind when I opened this thread. No need for a new word.
