Does the normal song sound like this, or just the recording?

'Mkay.

What are you using to record? (I'm presuming Fraps)

Also, you could just import the final video into a video editing program (Windows Movie Maker, in all likelihood), then add the song you played as an audio track, use the song in the video to sync up the added song, mute the audio, and compile the whole mess into a video.

I used to have the same problem, and that's how I dealt with it.  I used VirtualDub instead of Windows Movie Maker, but same idea - import the audio from the mp3, rather than from the video file.

Imported the Audio through VirtualDub. (Like you said)
Only Problem is how do you Sync them, the audio starts way before it should.

In sense, how do you change when the audio starts,
And like Hastur Did, Play the Video And Song at once to Sync up?

In VirtualDub, choose Audio -> Interleaving.  There's a field for ms delay of the audio track.  Increasing the number makes the audio start later.  I don't know how - or if you can - play both audio tracks at once in VirtualDub.  What I usually do is play it with the original audio and note some landmark that lines up with the song, like the first block, or a pattern of blocks, or a red in a sea of blues or something like that, and then zero in on it.  Window Movie Maker might give you an easier go of it.

[edit] I just remembered - sometimes when I did that, the audio seemed fine on playback, but when I uploaded the video, the audio started at 0:00 for some reason.  For those videos, I had to open the song in Audacity, add the correct amount of silence on the start, export the song to mp3, and use that audio track with no delay.  A bit of a hassle, so if WMM works, it might be an easier route.
