I just watched the WY on ABC Family...episode "ON THE SPOT".
I've seen episodes edited differently by other networks, but I've never seen
this...... the song played at the end during Winnie's speech...
It's different from the song played on the same episode taped
off Nick at Nite.
Can this be ????.....the soundtrack was changed ???

A classic example of this would be WKRP in Cincinnati, where in several episodes, generic songs were played in place of hits from the Olden Days (The Beatles, that sort of thing).

Off the top of my head, one of the dudes says a line "Hold Me Closer Terrible Dresser" for example instead of "Hold Me Closer Tiny Dancer" which was an Elton John hit in the 70s. Something about rights and distribution issues and lawyers and such. See the WKRP in Cincinnati Message Board for more details.

Peace Out.
