YouTube may still mess with an upload even if you do as Keith suggested. Algorithms are people there. Clear instances of "fair-use" are still demonetized (or worse) on occasion. Some copyright holders are more "protective" than others, but covers still abound.

Don't worry so much about being sued. Nobody is going to come after any money that you didn't make on YouTube. Worry about having to keep up with YouTube's rules and enforcement. They may make what you are planning more hassle than fun. Probably NOT, but it might happen.

If you don't infringe, I'd say "Test the waters". See what happens. If you do, you shouldn't have, and you may find out. But you won't "get sued".
