Yes, and No.
*scratches brain, goes to Google and types in "music sampling laws."

Not if you use the few seconds of silence before the song starts.

depends under what kind of copyright terms the song was released.
but in most cases you'll have to pay a fee for it.
here in NL you have to pay this fee to BUMA/STEMRA, i reckon in the US it'll be the RIAA?
