This seemed to go over a bit when I posted it in the NYT comments, my parody-tribute to the new apps for Fashion Week making it available to the whole city rather than the elite few.
The actual NYT article, for Fashion Week followers, is at

Nice that there’ll be apps and other ways to make the Fashion Week experience more democratic.
Tune of “Always True To You in My Fashion”
In the past a Fashion Week
Was exclusive to the chic
Now this Week it’s us they seek, so shout hooray
There are always apps to use when they’re talking fashion
There are always apps to use to hear what they say
So we’ve never gotten snaps
For our jackets or our wraps
Grab their apps and stylish chaps will look our way
There are always apps to use when they’re talking fashion
There are always apps to use to hear what they say
I’m a fashion-challenged mess
Who just can’t dress for success
Now this mess
Can nonetheless
Make out okay
There are always apps to use when they’re talking fashion
There are always apps to use - to hear what they say

In parody-tribute to the London GYPSY
I'd put this parody lyric in the readers' comments under Mr. Brantley's review of
the London GYPSY, "London Theater Journal: A Scorching Momma Rose"
http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/09/04/london-theater-journal-a-scorching-momma-rose/ relating to the review & some of the reader discussion there of the even darker take on the show.. Tune of “Some People” Some Roses can rule the boards Grabbing love as they grab awards That’s okay for some Roses And that’s perfectly great Some Roses can own the stage Showing heart as they’ve shown their rage That’s perfect for some Roses You’d ask out on a date But no - When you see this show You’ll think about every nut case you live in fear of Every monster you’ve grown to hate Every salesman you stay real clear of Fly to London, no need to wait Some Roses have passed the torch Got the flame, yeah, but not the scorch That’s triumphed for some Roses Some wham, bam, glam Roses that were Well, they all want your love But not her!
