The Amazing Race > The Racers
TAR 17: Connor Diemand-Yauman & Jonathan Schwartz--Ivy League a cappella Singers
Dånooky:
There's always hope in public domain songs...
theschnauzers:
We've not had trained a capella singers on the Race before, which means they're able to sing on pitch without needing instruments. They're probably able to improvise lyrics and or tunes (maybe ones they've made up on their own in the past, and in that case, Connor and Jonathan would own the copyright under the US law.
CBS can always get permissions if its something they think they want to use badly enough (see "Sweet Georgia Brown" in TAR 15), so I still think we're likely to hear tunes coming from Connor and Jonathan.
Some of y'all may be thinking of the Big Brother prohibition, which is usually because they have no real way of preventing singing from going out on the live feeds, and that would entail ASCAP royalty fees. On edited shows like TAR, the editors have the option to select things to use, and obtaining permissions from the copyright holders for use on the shows. And to be fair Bruckheimer is very familiar with using song clips on his shows (see the CSI franchsie and Cold Case), so that may also be a factor in comparison to BB.

Apparently y'all are right and it is possible we may yet hear these two singing....
All you have to do is know some songs in the public domain...and then tweak the lyrics a bit, and all is good!!
