[Serious] Made a funny video for friends and added a well known song which made it funnier. Do I need the artists permission before I show it to my friends?

Northern Ireland

Thanks to the current circumstances, my sister and I were larking around in the garden and made a funny superhero pole dancer video for our friends.

When I edited it together, I seen an option to add a song from my Amazon music collection so I did for a laugh. It was Danger Zone by Kenny Loggins and it has ultimately elevated the video to new heights! It only lasts 0:59 seconds... and I'd really love to send it to our friends... but I don't want to infringe any copyright laws and have Kenny Loggins take me to court.

As crazy as this post sounds, I am seriously looking for advice. Thank you.

Edit: I am in Northern Ireland.
