If you post that video on YouTube so that any public can see it, it might be illegal ; it depends if you are going to use the hole song or 20 seconds of it. It also depends if the video gives a good or bad "image" to the song (if it makes it sound good or not)

Without permission from the author or originator of a work (music, video, art, picture) use of the work is plagiarism and/or theft.Added: You are asking for a legal opinion on a subject that could potentially be extremely costly to you if you take the wrong actions.

Is it safe to put original music on YouTube?

In a nutshell: There is no real legal risk to you, the video uploader, when using original / copyrighted music in a video and then uploading that video to YouTube.Strictly speaking, it is not legal, and certainly not encouraged. But it's YouTube's responsibility. If anybody are at risk, it's YouTube, not the amateur video producer who uploaded the video.BUT: If YouTube finds out about it, they will remove the entire sound from your video and all that will be left is a muted, soundless video. (An example of where this happened: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfKTmZK6uto ) (******READ******READ*******READ*******CHEAT LINK TO HIS FIRST VIDEO****READ*******READ******READ)In order to ensure that this does not happen to your video, you should use only Youtube Safe Music (i.e. licensed stock music) in your video. You can buy a legal license to music from an online music library, stock music site, such as this one: http://www.shockwave-sound.com . From here and similar sites you can pay a few dollars to have a music track legally licensed for use in your video.YouTube have been in negotiations with the recording industry about a potential arrangement where YouTube pays the record companies a small sum for each time their copyrighted music is used in a YouTube video. However, so far (at the time of writing this), such an agreement has not been reached.An article on YouTube safe music and crediting music use in YouTube videos:http://www.shockwave-sound.com/Articles/005_Youtube_Safe_Music.html
