The present work sought to investigate the musical parodies in biology teaching present
on the YouTube platform. To achieve this goal, we searched on the YouTube platform,
through keywords, to locate several musical parodies. The keywords were: Biology
musical parodies; musical parodies of biology in the classroom; musical parodies about
biological sciences. In the results of this research, we identified the following topics
covered: Origin of life, viruses, circulatory system and digestive system. The most
discussed topic was the digestive system, containing 07 videos and 3,800 to 80,000
views. The most approached keyword was “musical biology parodies” containing 28
videos and 88,000 to 197,000 views. In terms of final considerations, we consider
relevant a greater production of musical parodies performed in the classroom and that
they are made available on the YouTube platform, as it is a powerful teaching-learning
space to arouse the student's interest and the access to Biology content at school
