Song covers are also a special case with something called a "compulsory license" where the copyright owner is required to license it to you, can't be denied. You just do it and and pay them preset royalty rates.

That is only if it is recorded. You can't get a "compulsory license" if you are going to perform that cover in front of an audience. That you have secure from the rights holder.
