Biotechniques magazine does a song parody contest each year.
https://www.future-science.com/btn/labgrammy it is for this year.
Not all songs are created equal.
IMHO the best three are:
NeuroTransmissions: "Get Data"; fun in the lab stuff
A Capella Science: "Evo-Devo"; about Evo-Devo (Evolutionary Development)
Everyday Science: "Pi, Pi, Pi"; about Pi

Nice, I listened to a couple already and they're pretty humorous.
 
Some of them are very well made, It would take most people a while to realize they are parodies (unless they paid close attention to the lyrics).
