Unfortunately there is no hard and fast rule about this; the law mentions the "amount and subtantiality of the portion," and neither the courts nor the legislation have seen fit to clarify that. Fair use, at the moment, is being judged on whether the excerpt is "appropriate in kind and amount," and whether the use is transformative.

There is no predetermined amount of copyrighted material that can be used before it is considered a violation. Each case is judged by the planned use & it's purpose.

US Copyright Law sets out for criteria that have to be considered before something can be determined to be "fair use"

# The purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes # The nature of the copyrighted work # The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole # The effect of the use upon the potential market for, or value of, the copyrighted work

Legally none.

There is no minimum or maximum that you can "get away with". If you use a recognizable snippet of a copyrighted song you are guilty of infringement.
