Weird Al actually licenses the songs for parodying because free use is thin ice.

Most of Al's music isn't parody. Smells like Nirvana is one of very few that is, as the song Al writes is about the original work/artist

Amish paradise is another and probs my favourite of Al's

Amish paradise is not a parody. Coolio actually had a case if he had sued.
