YouTube blocked the original version of the Ig Nobel Prize Ceremony 2021 over a copyright claim on John McCormacks 1914 recording of "Funiculi Funicular", which, due to the messed-up state of US copyright on audio recordings, may still be copyrighted until Jan 1st, 2022. So, as a special tribute to algorithms and lawyers everywhere, we present this remixed and refuniculared version, with special guests Maria Ferrante and Thomas Michael performing the classic tune.
The 31st First Annual Ig Nobel Prize Ceremony is scheduled for Thursday, September 9th, 2021 at 6 PM US eastern time. It will introduce ten new Ig Nobel Prize winners, each of which has done something that makes people laugh then think. Winners travel (virtually, in this Covid-19 pandemic year) from around the world to receive their prize from a group of genuine, genuinely bemused Nobel Laureates.
