I always wondered from the legal standpoint.

Dont you have to pay to cover someones song?

If your making money off of it, yes. You have to pay whoever owns the rights to the songs. For instance, one of my old bands did a cover of Kay's Choice "Not an Addict" for a benefit disc some number of years ago. We had to pay about $2,000 to use the song. Even though we weren't the ones making the money, we wanted to use the song and didn't mind being the ones paying for it.

As for these guys, Lady GaGa her/his-self has publicly supported their version, so I assume they paid her some funds. The guy who owns the record label they're on also does KillWhitneyDead (a band that relies on absurd ammounts of movie samples) so I imagine he knows a thing or two about intellectual property laws.
