For which parody, there is now a copyright suit:
http://sethf.com/infothought/blog/archives/000670.html

...and never mind the parody defence, or indeed Woody Guthrie's own 
© statement:
"This song is Copyrighted in U.S., under Seal of Copyright # 154085, 
for a period of 28 years, and anybody caught singin it without our 
permission, will be mighty good friends of ourn, cause we don't give a 
dern. Publish it. Write it. Sing it. Swing to it. Yodel it. We wrote 
it, that's all we wanted to do."

Cheers
Martin
