This wouldn't qualify as fair dealing (Canada doesn't have "Fair use"
like the USA). Wikipedia has a bit of info:

You can read the text of the law here:

According to IMDb,

Adam Sandler wrote the song, he probably kept the copyright too. You
could always ask him permission to release the melody with a
copyleft/sharealike licence ;)
