> Weird Al can be a complex case, because sometimes his songs are true parodies, and sometimes they're more satires. Parody has a pretty firm history of being protected under fair use, and Weird Al's MJ-inspired songs ("Fat" and "Eat It") are clearly parodies. (As is his more recent Lady Gaga sendup "Perform This Way", while his Star wars saga "The Story Begins" and Coolio-esque "Amish Paradise" are more like satires).

Not entirely. The use of the musical tune is not a parody, only the
lyrics. But if, like you say, he did get permission, then he is safe.
But you bring up a point of *criticism* which is distinct from re-use.
