Song Choice Process

When I needed to find a song to make a music video for i realized that the song needed to be unsigned to a record label or I needed the label's permission to use the song. This is so i can upload the completed music video to YouTube without worrying about it being taken down again by the record label for copyright infringement.  With this in mind I decided to ask my friend who produces music under the alias Jackal. He gave me permission to use his songs and to upload a copy of the song to YouTube.  Jackal usually produces music which fits into the genre of UK house/garage/bass, this is also a genre of music that I am interested in therefore I am happy to make a music video for Jackal.
Here are the song choices that I narrowed it down to: 
This song Space ft. XL-Love has repetitive lyrics, which I am looking for in a song because I think it is important, it is also a nice, short length.
I like Static (Get out Of My House) because, again, it has repetitive lyrics. I prefer it to Space ft. XL Love however it is quite a bit longer so it will be harder to film enough footage to make a music video in the time I have for a song this length. This song also has a few swear words in. This is unfortunate because it is the song that I want to produce a music video for the most. I may have to ask Jackal is he would be willing to edit the song to remove swear words and make it shorter. I Can't Feel ft. XL Love is one of Jackals most popular songs as it featured on the well known House music YouTube channel, Certified Jackin'. It would be a good song for me to use because of the repeated lyrics and interesting beat, which sounds like it would be good to edit in time to. if I choose to use this song I also may also have to ask Jackal if he could shorted it. This song would be my backup option if I am unable to use Static due to the complications.
