There's often a subtle energy that's conveyed with a faster tempo, even just a few BPM, and it was done a lot in the early days in order to help the parody sound more exciting when it was on the radio. On the other hand, many of the newer parodied tracks are sufficiently fast, and are left alone. There was one that was even slowed down maybe 1 BPM, but I forget which. But the occasional increase in tempo isn't normally enough to make it harder to sing, some songs are tricky to start with and the tempo bump isn't much worse.
