to start, this is not for a parody cover release, where each track is a parody of a track on the original release, as there’s a relationship for that already.

this is for cases where the release is a parody of another release, whether just the cover art, release title, or some other kind of response. we could have different attributes to differentiate different types of parodies (and to make it clear how this is different from a cover song parody release), but not imperative.

some examples:

• “Weird Al” Yankovic’s Off the Deep End is a cover art parody of Nirvana’s Nevermind
• Pinkamena Party Crew’s LET’S BUCK SHIT UP is a parody of Balloon Party’s 100% No Feeble Cheering which itself is a cover art/title parody of Knife Party’s 100% No Modern Talking
• The Nitwitz’ The Dark Side of the Spoon is a cover art/title parody of Pink Floyd’s The Dark Side of the Moon
• Ponies at Dawn’s Hold Your Rainbow is a cover art/title parody of Pendulum’s Hold Your Colour
• Five Iron Frenzy’s Five Iron Frenzy 2: Electric Boogaloo is a title parody of Various Artist’s Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo (technically the film’s title, but maybe it counts?)
• National Lampoon’s White Album is a title parody of The Beatles’ The Beatles (aka The White Album)

again, none of these examples are song-for-song parody cover albums, save for “Weird Al” parodying Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” on Off the Deep End and nothing else from Nevermind.
