Speed up a popular song?

[Scandinavian Freckles]

Hi everyone. I am just gonna get right to it.

I have an awesome idea for a video and I kinda need to use a song. I AM HORRIBLE at singing but if I REALLY need to do it I will. My question is.. If I use a song in my video , but speed it up or change the pitch, will I get a copyright claim?

I have thought about it and it won't sound like the original but I am not sure how it works..
Any advice helps

Thanks in advance, Have a lovely rest of the week <3

Question for you.

Why are you trying to circumvent the YouTube Rules to begin with? There must be A: Either a better video idea you could come up with or B: A way to alter your original idea in order to avoid using copyright media.

UKHypnotist is right. That's how it works. Just work around the idea, don't try to abuse the system.

You could try to sing over a midi of it, or play it on piano or guitar yourself, then I don't think there's any issue. I got a claim once on royalty free music, because some other guy used it, sang over it and the computer thought I was using THAT and not the original which was free to use. Oy!
