limelight?
So I'm thinking of putting out a record with a lot of covers with vocals. Is limelight the way to go to cover the licensing?
Is there a difference if I make a few hundred physical cds versus just releasing a download package and put it on a website?

Technically, downloads are separate and not covered by physical licensing. As to Limelight, a lot of folks are using them now, but I can't speak on user experience. I've always gone with Harry Fox.

Howling at the neighbors. Hoping they have more mic cables.

Yeah...... ah, NO.
That's called a "derivative work," and while the author is alive and the material is under copyright protection, you need his or her permission (and/or publisher, etc., etc.).
Even if you do that legally (with public domain material), you are supposed to file your copyright forms for that material as a "derivative work."
