    You need permission to copy and distribute someone else's material.

    Giving credit does little to nothing for you legally. If anything, the copyright holder can find association with your post to be harmful.

    Posting the song without permission is copyright infringement, and is illegal.

    No, it's not. However the worst that will happen is that it will simply be taken down.
