Cover songs?
Does anyone know whether I can cover a song (guitar, drums and possibly bass) and use it as a soundtrack in my compo game? Is this allowed in the rules?

Um… the song is still copyrighted, so you’d need to get in touch with the original songwriter and ask for permission. How about write a quick song yourself?

I think that if you do a cover of a song, you hold the rights.

You can absolutely cover a song without permission. However, if any money is made from the product, royalties have to be paid. You can’t legally change the song without permission though.
