Absolutely - I do it all the time, in the privacy of my own home. Add a verse, change some words, a jazz song becomes a folk song, a rock song becomes a country song. If you look, there are many examples of well known artists doing this very thing. But, that being said, there will always be the "puritans" who will shout blasphemy. Music is art, and the relevance is in the eye (ear?) of the beholder.
