If it is a spoof, I think it is ok.  There's a precedent if you are a Wierd
Al fan.  Wierd Al parodied the theme from "Dangerous Minds" and
the group that owned the parodied theme sued.  Wierd Al won.  Try
to include a bibliography card giving credit to the places you got
the material from, however.  Just credit as much as you remember...
