You would making a new arrangement of a composition, which removes any need for dealing with sample clearances from record companies, but you still need the right from the publisher of the song to record it.
You can search ASCAP and BMI's databases to find out who the publisher of the song is:
http://www.ascap.com/ace/
http://www.bmi.com/
Or most likely you can go through the Harry Fox Agency which would handle which would issue mechanical licenses for lower quanitites. Go here:
http://www.harryfox.com/public/songfile.jsp, search for the song, and follow their instructions to get your license. You will pay a fee on top of statutory rate which is 9.1 cents per song per copy.
It could be possible to negotiate a slightly lower rate with the actual publisher.
