So assuming you obtain both mechanical license and synchronization license for a popular song, if I produce my original recording of a copyrighted composition, technically its not a cover song, right, it is your original? It just happen that a famous guy sang it first and made it popular than you do, right?

If you didn't write it or record it first, it's a cover!

You can re-write and record anything you want with permission and a small royalty fee.

you don't need permission ..... you only need to pay the fee.
