Hmm if I had to guess it has something to with the fact that these songs are usually videos that are sponsored by the companies and are therefore are a bit different on youtubes server. Since this method circumvents all ads I think this is their way of blocking you from listening to the song without watching the ads first, in which they would be breaking their contract with the record company.
