You don't need permission to make a parody of a song, though Weird Al still does, to maintain a good relationship with other artists. It's one of those things you can do, but not entirely moral to do so without asking.
Copyright law allows unlicensed use of a work to make a parody of that work. Some but not all of his recordings would be protected by that carve-out, but he doesn't rely on it in any case.
