That isn't legal; to ban parody.
In fact I think it is perfectly legal for StSanders to post this stuff, 
just as it is perfectly acceptable for a stand-up comedian to insult or 
impersonate the Queen or Prime minister or mock an artist by singing 
different words to the song. The only problem here is that sites like 
this operate within their own rules which don't tend to be based on a 
legal reality.

The only reason the artists (or their managers) complained was because 
it makes fun of them and they are selfish bastards who will quickly 
flash over if the joke's about them, but laugh wholeheartedly when the 
joke's about someone less worthy (of less worth because they aren't 
making them money).

And the only other reason is that people who have in the past been in 
control of entertainment; through music, film, theatre, television and 
even books and magazines, DO NOT want individually produced and freely 
posted stuff to succeed (the likes of uTube or even Bebo type sites) and 
will take every opportunity to stamp on those who infringe even slightly 
on their allegedly trademarked and paid for exclusivity.

lol. What am I babbling about? Too early ;)
