I've read that Weird Al Yankovic asks for permission from the original artists, or at the very least asks if they wouldn't mind if he parodies their music but as far as the law goes, he doesn't necessarily have to since Parody is protected.

How does Weird Al get copyright permission for his songs?
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.
Does weird al yakovitch need permission to make a parody of a song?
Actually, it does seem like that he needs to ask, but by law, he does not need permission to make any of his parodies. Copyright can be something scary that you may seem you don't want to mess with, however, there is acceptations to it, known as "fair use." Fair use allows copyrighted material to be used in things such as educational purposes, small portions that don't harm the original, news media, and yes, parodies. You can not be sued for making a parody. That doesn't mean people can't get mad at you though. So therefore, even though he doesn't have to, he still does ask as a nice favor to try and avoid angering the musical artists.

How do you publish a song parody without copyright?
To do this, you would be relying on the notion of "fair use," which doesn't always work the way you want. For example, to count as "parody," the new work must be a parody of the old work: you can change the lyrics of a song to make fun of the song, but changing the lyrics to make fun of anything else would require permission. It also depends on what you mean by "publish;" in many cases, you would be advised to pay licensing fees for the original anyway. If possible, consult with your publisher's legal counsel before proceeding.
