Let the Grammy award for Best Song be a prediction that many covers will be made of it.
Let the Grammy award for Best Record (interpreted as best recording) be a trickier prediction, that although some (perhaps many, if the song is also a candidate for Best Song) covers will be made if it, none will exceed the "quality" of this original.
Curiously, these predictions can be tested.
Create a prize for the best song (another prediction of covers and other derivative works) with a permissive copyright license, like Creative Commons.
