Yes there is a way round it.
Dont include ANY samples in it from the original.
You can replay any samples - it is then classed as a cover version.
Sampling without permission leaves you open to breach of mechanical copyright, and you are likely to get a C&D letter and/or sued.
Cover versions are allowed and you do not need permission- but it MUST NOT include ANY samples of any part, either instrument or voice at all.
Of course, this applies just to youtube...
If you actually plan on selling this track, then you need to pay upfront (minimum 500 copies, somethng like 9 cents a copy- from rusty memory), although as it is a cover version, you wouldnt actually need to ask permission. Harry Fox has all the details on this if you wanted to go this route.
