Don't think that works.

According to the YouTube FAQ (which is not legally binding of course), 
it's OK to have music playing if it's incidental to the main purpose of 
the video. In other words, if the music was taken away, it would still 
be an interesting video.

Posting a 4-minute video containing an entire track prominently in the 
foreground because that's what I'm dancing to is hardly "insubstantial", 
however.

No, the worst that can happen is that I get sued for several hundred 
thousand pounds and/or put in jail. Apparently the music industry likes 
to do that occasionally, to make an example of people.
