chosen: One way to cover popular songs without having to pay royalties or acknowledging them is to record an original song with elements of the popular song. Another option is to perform an instrumental cover of the popular song, making sure to change the arrangement enough so that it cannot be confused for the original. Finally, you could try a lyrical reworking, taking the theme of the original and giving it a new spin with your own words. No matter which approach you choose, be aware that you may still be legally bound to acknowledge the original songwriter and producers, regardless of whether you pay royalties or not.
