I love this song of Al's. It's really funny.
One thing I've wondered about this song. I heard that Paul McCartney had denied permission because he was a vegetarian, but it appeared in the medley, which is what usually happens when Al can only think of a little bit of a parody, and doesn't want to drag it out for a whole song. CPP is only a few lines. Was it an idea Al had but hadn't developed when permission was denied?

I've never read anything about it, but that sounds like a good guess. Although quite a few of Al's very early songs start from an idea that gets played out before reaching full-song length.
"Weird Al" has a charisma that's all his own. The awkward, the misshapen, the socially inept flock to his banner.

According to everything Al has said recently about "Bad Date," it seems he gets the permission before even writing the song to make sure he doesn't waste his time. So I would assume he was denied permission and nothing more had been written beyond what we've heard.
I couldn't tell a dirt clod from a plate of caviar.

But that was in Al's early days. I doubt there's a full version. If there was we probably would hear it (like I'll Repair for You).
