Before anyone says anything, no this is not considered parody, and yes I would need to secure the rights to do this. Parody is when you change the lyrics or performance to specifically make fun of the original artist.
Well they're not very good at it because I have several songs that are popular songs with the lyrics changed to be balls to the wall anarchist anthems, and I have yet to see a takedown request. I have however had to cut down a live set from a YouTube vid because of the house music before my set.
Artists are also hurt by big companies spamming DCMA takedown requests for fair-use or similar-sounding works.
Why are you relying on a rent-seeking legal mechanism that's ineffective and holding humanity back?

I agree with this person's positions on pretty much every point, but I'ma answer anyway
Ok I'm getting quite tired of artists having conservative reactionary takes to this news.
In this QT thread I'm going to ask artists 6 questions to consider, which I'm very willing to hear them out on and will hopefully lead to an interesting discussion.

I think people assume that all my fans are anarchists, but I have fans across the political spectrum, including conservatives. Conservatives hate cops too; they just don't like to think of it that way

When I was a teen, I went to Trenton to see the ska band Bigger Thomas, and they performed the song Panic! off of their album We Wear the Mask with all the features. The song is basically a dub rap cypher, and this white girl complained to no one in particular that the song wasn't "authentic."

It is astounding to me that there are so many AI music mastering tools because mastering is literally the easiest fucking thing to do in audio engineering. How do you go through recording, tracking, and mixing and then be like OH GOD HOW DO I ADD COMPRESSION AND EQ ON THIS EXPORTED WAV FILE?!

I love 90s music, but I find original bands that do 90s genres incredibly strange

Pop music artists are so funny. They'll be like "I just wrote a POLITICAL song that's going to CHANGE EVERYTHING" and the song is just "Why is everyone so mad all the time? We need to love each other and stop fighting."
