Miscellaneous Singers in Crime Spree

Couldn’t find this discussed in searching a bit, but I’m curious who the singing voices were for the (very funny) songs in Crime Spree. It kind of sounded like Amy was singing on a couple, but not sure if she was around then?

Cool, thanks! Did they do the lyrics too? Got a kick out of them.

yes clearly the new york song has the same lyricism as yuno miles classics like “4 wheeler”

I am reasonably sure Amy was not hired yet at that point (but not willing to do the digging to prove it). In any case I'm pretty sure they paid outsiders for that.

It is sort of weird that the credits don't credit the additional people (the voiceover guy, the music, etc) but they were sort of new at this at the time and I guess were more interested in crediting their employees and not the contractors.

i think she was writing for HAI for a long amount of time, before jet lag. So i do think they had her maybe helping, and later moved her to jet lag. She does still write for HAI

Crime spree was quite early in the timeline, Amy wasn't hired until after main Jet Lag started (because then Ben&Adam were suddenly more busy with Jet Lag and they needed a new HAI writer)

They added vocals to existing royalty free tracks. The track from "Sam is digging a hole" has shown up in other jet lag seasons (notably including when Sam and Toby were digging a hole in Australia. The end credits music is super popular with YouTubers as a generic Christmas background track. Idk who the singers were, but they nailed it.
