Free speech for me, but none for thee...

How come these "artists" never protest Weird Al Yankovic for spoofing their pop music?

I agree with Mr. Feliciano. THe song is not funny and it is disgraceful. Leave Christmas alone. FELIZ NAVIDAD HAS ALWAYS BEEN ONE OF MY FAVORITE CHRITMAS SONGS.

What is abhorrent is using a song meant for celebrating the birth of Christ as a vehicle for hate and ignorance.

Weird Al gets an agreement from the artists first.

Not that I don’t agree with your underling premise.

I’m hardly a lawyer, but I thought parody was protected under the first amendment. Still, they likely got rid of it because of the risk of bad press.

"Feliz Navidad"

I always thought it was "Police nab me Dad".

Go figure.

I thought it was funny. I guess the truth hurts. However, if the guy is gonna use José’s music, José should see some pesos.

He probably won’t mind so much when he gets the royalty check.

Illegals in my yard
Illegals in my yard
Illegals in my yard
Throw them so pesos
And they work so hard

Illegals in my yard
Illegals in my yard
Illegals in my yard
I don't even ask 
If they got green card

They're gonna pave up my driveway this Christmas
They're gonna clean up all my cars this Christmas
They're gonna shovel all the snow this Christmas
Those illegals in my yard

They're gonna dig me a pool this Christmas
They're gonna landscape my lawn this Christmas
They're gonna cook me up some tacos this Christmas
Those illegals in my yard

Illegals in my yard
Illegals in my yard
Illegals in my yard
Sixteen arrive
In a stolen car

Illegals in my yard
Illegals in my yard
Illegals in my yard
When they're not working
They sit at the bar

They're gonna drink some cervezas this Christmas
They're gonna shoot some tequila this Christmas
They're gonna get DUI's this Christmas
Those illegals in my yard

They're gonna get free organ transplants this Christmas
They're gonna have anchor babies this Christmas
They're gonna scream si si pueda this Christmas
Those illegals in my yard

Illegals in my yard
Illegals in my yard
Illegals in my yard
One at a time
Run past those border guards

Illegals in my yard
Illegals in my yard
Illegals in my yard
Hugo Chavez
Sends his kind regards

They're gonna tackle Pat Buchanan this Christmas
They're gonna chase down Lou Dobbs this Christmas
They're gonna join up with La Raza this Christmas
Those illegals in my yard

They're gonna spread bubonic plague this Christmas
They're gonna bring me lotsa bed bugs this Christmas
They're gonna pass tuberculosis this Christmas
Those illegals in my yard

I guess he would really be upset that Bob Rivers used it in Twisted Radio to spoof it using the lyrics “Police Stop My Car” sung by a Mexican.
