"It was just a matter of when, not if and that when is today.. I’m not sure if it is something popular in West countries, but in Post Soviet countries we have a popular culture phenomenon - Gachi Remixes. There are thousands of them:

- etc
The most important part in them is using of standard Gachi phrases. So my question is how to link them with works? Basically there are 3-4 ways to make Gachi remix and they are credited below with some examples.
It is not mashup, because it is not mixing of two, three or even more specific records. It is not remix in the sense, that is accepted on MusicBrainz, because the content is changed too significantly. It is not just work with ‘cover’ attribution, because again the work content is changed. So how should I link it to original song work or recording?
Additional question:
- Should I credit original artists on release/recording levels? Their voices still have an important role in recordings often, but I don’t think they all will want to be associated with these remixes. Also they don’t really take part in the changed part of the track (ai covers with original artist voices are exceptions).
1. Using clips of popular Gachimuchi actors instead of some original words only
I think it is the most popular way of making them. You replace in original recording some words to Gachi phrases.
2. Replacing all words with these clips
3. Replacing some or all words with standard phrases but with original artist’s voice thanks to AI
