The two examples are apples and oranges.
Weird Al wrote parodies and the artists he parodied received royalties from the profits of those parody records. On top of that, he always got permission from both the artist and more importantly their record label (except the well documented Coolio spoof.)
This is a blatant advertisement by a toy company to sell their shitty chachkies that is changing the lyrics of a song they never asked permission to use.
