Have you checked the youtube link again?  "This video is no longer
available due to a copyright claim by Warner/Chappell Music, Inc."

I doubt this is due to a copyright violation--look how many other
[better] parodies of the same song are on youtube (e.g.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2kZKI7pSHs)...	Or homemade parodies
of michael jackson (also on the warner label) have not been removed
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KO_ey4v1ccA).  Perhaps Warner/Chappell
Music just doesn't share the extremest views of the church, so they
censored it.

Nevertheless, the music video is still available at
http://www.thesignsofthetimes.net/specialav/special.html, along with
Westboro Baptist Church's other extremist music videos.
