I think they're overdoing it.  For one thing, I can definitely see Snoopy doing every single thing I saw in that trailer.
Charlie Brown, less so, but that's because the whole idea behind this film is that he's no longer a static character who never really changes.

...I'd bet it'd do something interesting no matter what the lyrics are actually about.

I don't understand the lyrics, either, but I did find http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hevisaurus]the band's Wikipedia page

The Weird Al reminded me of this cover band:

them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.''

How Ken Burns would tell the story of Star Wars.
(It's not YouTube, so sadly I can't embed it.  But it's worth opening another tab or window for.
And if you're asking "Who's Ken Burns?", he's the guy who made the massive PBS documentary on the Civil War.)
