Again, I haven't heard the song but wouldn't the music be more of a factor here than the words? You could change the words nine ways from Tuesday but if the riff is the same* then the hook for the advertising is "Beastie Boys music". Which, to me, would intuitively be "Advertising with the Beastie Boys".
(I'll assume they didn't just lay new words over the entire original track as I'm suggesting here)
I have not heard this parody version of Girls so I feel at a disadvantage but if I could listen to it and "heard" The Beastie Boys : Girls, riffs and all and the point of its existence is trying to sell some product then I can not see how that would be fair to use in advertizing, no matter how moshed it was.
Admittedly I'm leaning more towards the "fuck no you can't use it to sell shit!" side if only for the fact that that was one of the attractions to this band's music "way back when".
I understand that's pretty far from any sort of legal anything but... fuck Goldieblox - if they knew anything about the beasties they should've known that. So.. fuck all, I hope the beasties win even if fair use takes a hit (like it isn't already a walking corpse anyway).
And if that doesn't work there's always the multinational/global corporate takeover of the earth angle (even though that's most of what this agreement is for isn't it?). I mean they're almost there as it is and isn't that what all these police are for anyway?
And seemingly the only mother fuckers that "deserve" privacy is the state now? The "state" can have secrets backed by laws and guns and we. don't. get. shit.? Damn it. Damn that to the fiery depths of the deepest hell.

Maybe it is a really important experiment? One perhaps where they were about to place it into a capsule to be jettisoned into_the_black to insure that all civilizations henceforth and forevermore will be free of it? Maybe?
Apparently those unpleasant penalties are not severe enough.
I'm starting to think that the criminal enterprise that is the executive branch far and away outweighs the totality of all actual criminal enterprise combined.
Most likely because they know that they can not be tazed back. He was either smiling on the inside because he got to deploy or was immediately horrified he deployed. Either way he was negligent and should be charged with aggravated assault and endangering the life a child.
I can imagine that if I were the father of this boy that I would need some physical restraint. My attention would require the diversion and directing that attention at bringing down those that brought preventable harm by any means other than physical would be more appropriate and effective.
Tasers are deadly. Their deployment in these types of situations is cowardly. These are not the tools of protection and defense.
This prevalence of imposing submission in this "new" society is sickening.
There is accountability to be claimed here. Who got 'em?
That mother fucker should have been placed under arrest the second it was realized that child wasn't getting up.
