Al got permission for IILWTS, he just went with W&N instead. So he might not have to cut it.

You never know.. he could still get the permission. They would see how well the song did on the Internet, and could change their opinion.

Why would he? I thought that parody was held under fair use or something.

He could, but he won't (you're right about parody being Fair Use). Even when it's just the suits at Atlantic who put their feet down, not Blunt himself.
"Weird Al" has a charisma that's all his own. The awkward, the misshapen, the socially inept flock to his banner.

what if it was on there as a super-secret easter egg that only plays on every 27th full viewing of the main feature?

even without the song it would still be a cool DVD. that would be even cooler if they could make some kind of 3D concert movie like Hannah Montana did.
