Oops, I seem to have stepped into a 1988 thread wormhole.

Nope.
I grew up listening to him casually like most children of the 80's. It was just a joke. He's reportedly one of the nicest guys around, so I am happy to see he's still having success and doing his thing as an artist with a unique slant on meshing of the mediums. For the record, I was insanely obsessed with seeing UHF the moment I first saw the previews, and remember distinctly my joy of seeing it at the old Crown Center theaters on a Saturday matinée opening weekend. You're a very, very, very lucky little boy. You know why? You get to drink from... THE FIRE HOOOOOSE!!! Troll not.

It's really insane when you think about it. Who else is out there that had a 30-year career in the music industry? He's never been a superstar, but he's never really had a total clunker of an album that entire time.

At this point I think most artists kind of take it as a honor when he parodies one of their songs. With a few exceptions.... Coolio.

Or was it not needed for Gangster/Amish Paradise because it already heavily sampled Stevie wonder?

There was a misunderstanding between Al's people and Coolio's people. Al thought he had permission, but Coolio didn't give it. There are no legal repercussions for Al - you don't need permission from artists to parody - but it's not his style to piss artists off.
