Heh, I heard this parody being played by a local radio station.

"The music company that owns the copyright to Woody Guthrie's 'This Land Is Your Land' threatened to sue the Internet humor site jibjab.com for parodying the song in a cartoon lampooning George W. Bush and John Kerry. The hugely popular spoof, in which the candidates trade insults like "liberal sissy" and "right-wing nut job," "puts a completely different spin on the song," said a lawyer for Ludlow Music. Jibjab.com has asked a California court to affirm that the parody is protected under the First Amendment."
