I'm with Anthony on this... Maybe you should know the story on this
before you vilify the guy. More than likely, he got permission and payed a
royalty. Even if he didn't, I just listened to the clip and it seems
different enough that it might not be out and out copyright infringment.
I've heard plenty of songs used in commercials and movies and stuff,
that are of similar type caricatures of other well known songs, similar
enough to get the hint across as to what the user intended, but without
actually infringing on the copyright of the origional creator.
