An old hit that is out of copyright, remixed with a little bump added (little? Make sure your Koss QZ2000's are on tight and your neck brace is in place so you won't get whiplash)
An old 60's hit re-mixed to modern tastes will get you publicity and a little cash, I think. IIRC, they are paying 1/100 of a cent per hit. So when you have the #1 video in the WORLD And several billion people have watched, those little bits of a penny start to add up.

Shakira and jean have been hit almost 8 billion times. THAT is a huge pile of penny bits. ANd while in Shakira's case, the dude with the cigar IS getting his cut, the bigger the pie, the bigger the crumbs.
In 1988, the number one hit for Feb and March was "These Boots Are Made For Walkin'" by Nancy Sinatra. Re-mix it with your git fiddle solo add some bump, get your old lady and her nubile younger sister to jump around behind you in Harem outfits and wading boots and get a big penny jar.
