@rockstothebass ....he actually doesn't even need to ask. He's protected by American parody law, but he gets artists permission anyway just keep good terms with everyone. I mean who would turn Al down?

I'm a poet and wrote a parody that would be just right for this group.

How Old Are These People? o.O

White and Nerdy is a parody, as stated above. Also, he usually obtains permission from the label that owns the rights to the music. Not the performing artist. Because songs that are famous enough to get parodied are rarely still owned by the performing artists.

he doesn't have to. Parody takes care of that

rockstothebass - actually, as I understand, a parody is a legally protected artform - you actually don't need to get permission, Weird Al does so out of politeness, not legal necesity
what theses guys do is arrange covers (that's what they call it when you do someone else's song) - technically that is copyright infringement, but most small-time bands do it without paying royalties and don't really get hassled for it
Weird Al doesn't "steal" the songs.
For the most part, he gets the artists' permission before he does anything.
He has to, otherwise there'd be major lawsuits.
