Parodies and copyright

Many people like to resort to instrumental music downloads in order to write parodies. If it is for private purposes only (ie birthday party), fine. For those who intend to have the parody available online for all to see, this help section from youtube might help :

If I make a parody but use the original instrumental music and rewrite the lyrics and put it on top, does that break copyright laws? Will YouTube take the video down if I am in their partnership programme?
