I used to really like Weird Al as a kid! My favorite parody he did was 'Another one rides the bus', mocking the Queen song.........

 

He almost got in trouble over 'Amish Paradise' because Coolio never gave him permission to use his song.........

from how he tells it coolio's manager said yes he could but later found out coolio did not give permission cause he was never even told of the request but later was ok  with it 
michael jackson gave al permission to parody any of his songs and even left him film the music videos for his parodies on the same sets for the mj songs he was parodying 
now prince was the only artist who verbally forbid al from parodying his songs and al would sneakly take a shot at prince in the song word crimes 
paul mccartney had no issue with al doing a parody of his songs as long as al did not talk about eating meat food made from animals since paul was a vegan 
there is a long standing quote that says you have not offically made it  as a artist unless al does a parody of one of your songs

here is a very rare weird al parody that he only played at a few concerts in the mid 80's and on the dr demento show but realized it came off as he was picking on the subject and quit playing at concerts and never released it on a album
