Length [size ;-) ] does NOT matter! Depending upon the copyright owner's disposition, you may be ignored, praised, asked to pull you product or sued to within an inch of your life. Fair use only comes into play if your song is a parody. Please take what I write with however many grains of salt deemed appropriate since I am not a lawyer!
