noun | pa-ron-dip-i-ty The magical and completely unintentional discovery that the lyrics of one song fit perfectly with the rhythm and melody of a completely different song. Unlike a deliberate parody or mashup, parondipity happens by accident—you're just singing along when suddenly you realize "Hey Ya!" works disturbingly well with the tune of "Bohemian Rhapsody." Etymology: Blend of "parody" + "serendipity"—because finding these accidental musical matches feels like stumbling onto a happy accident the universe left lying around. Related terms: Parondipitous (adj.): "That was a parondipitous discovery when I found out Green Day's 'Basket Case' matches 'I Want It That Way.'" See also: Musical synchronicity, accidental mashup, shower singing revelation
