If you double-click the file and it plays, then drag it into your iTunes library. If not, it won't play. You'll have to find the same song somewhere else.

Where do you have the song? Does it have an icon? What happens when you double-click it?

OK. First you have to download the file. I suggest searching Google for "download youtube video". That lead me to http://www.techcrunch.com/get-youtube-movie/

Put the youtube URL (copied from the youtube page) into that download page and click the download link. That gets the file to your desktop. Let me know when you've done that.
