How would I be able to gain approval of a copyrighted song I want to use for youtube?

Question

I want to use a song on youtube but I do not want to get it flagged or anything. Plus I'm also trying to join the partners program and they wont let me join if I have a video where I do not own the copyrights.

Would I have to ask the artist/label? That could be impossible.

Please give reasonable way I can achieve this.

BTW: It's "Goodbye Horses" by Q Lazzarus and they are broken up and a really old band. It's kind of a spoof of Clerks II.

Answer 1

u dnt have 2 get approval

Answer 2

It may sound unreasonable to you, but the only way to overcome the copyright on the song is to get the approval of the artist, or the copyright holder.  You would have to get in touch with either them or their representation.  

Answer 3

yeah actually you dont need approval i didnt need it nobody does thats just what they want you to believe
