I'm not adamant about anything. I'm just saying what the law is & people don't like it. I don't like it either but misinformation is dangerous. Fair use is for journalism, criticism, parody, or education, plus only using 'as much as is necessary'. Covers/remixes aren't fair use.
This wasn't a cover of a remix though, surely just singing the 4 words in the way Sean did would come under parody, no?
In the Crazy Monkey Man video? He sang 4-5 lines of the song with signature vocalisations in the same order and arrangement as the copyrighted song. 4 words is fine, 4 lines is not. LMFAO couldn't copyright "Every day I'm shuffling" because it was too short and too common.
