What Al did with the scat part of "Zoot Suit Riot" ended any doubts I ever had about his ability to handle unusual lyrical situations in parody targets.

If it were a GoT parody, I'd want the line to be "Hodor! Hodor! H-O-D-O-R!"

If he managed to spell 7 different words that all pertained to one subject, he'd destroy every parody that's already out there.

Well due to thinking of other famous things that spell out letters I thought the ending could be "Who dat? Who Dat? M-I-C-K-E-Y", and the song would be called "Disney", but that's probably quite unlikely.

Another thing is that it doesn't have to be 4 letters anyway - in Iggy's song itself, the I is repeated so it actually sound like "I-I, G-G-Y." There are options and I'm sure Al chose the best ones!

The thing is... she isn't spelling out the name of the song (Fancy), she's spelling a different word altogether (Iggy). So why would the title of the parody be what is spelled out instead of I G G Y anyway? It's almost definitely going to be some other thing relating to the topic of the parody.

It doesn't even have to have the spelling... if it was a food song, it could be something like
Donut?Donut?
Fry, Baby, Fry

Yeah, it's awful :D

This was the point I was trying to make. You made it much better than I did. I should have just used terrible lyrics.

I'm beginning to wonder... Al's done parody songs about movies before.

Yoda = Lola
Jurassic Park = MacArthur Park
Gump = Lump

But only if they're considered to be popular and modern-day classics.
There's speculation about "Let It Go" floating around. Frozen has made A BILLION dollars, so it's safe to assume everyone knows about it and it's destined to become a classic.

"Fancy" :think: "Frozen"

Does he really need permission from filmmakers too?

Most likely. If he needed George Lucas' permission for Yoda, then he'll need Disney to give the OK for a Frozen related parody.
