Please help. This has driven me insane for a decade.

On the season four DVD, there is a menu where this weirdly soothing, wobbly, melodic acoustic guitar is just kinda fucking around.

I need this ripped off the damn DVD somehow and download-able as an MP3. Is anyone alive out there able to help me?

Far as I can tell, it's just someone on the crew fucking around with their guitar. It doesn't have a name and it's not any Spotify Playlist that I could find.

I've been closely following this spin off from the get go, so I have been really taken aback by the reactions because nothing anyone has ever said about this show implied it would be anything other than what we saw in that trailer.

Here are several real quotes and paraphrased comments from creators, executives, and cast about Stuart Fails to Save the Universe, along with dates.

So unless that trailer was genuinely the first you had ever heard of this spin-off, I just don't understand how anyone could have thought this would be a traditional three-camera sitcom or even in any way similar to The Big Bang Theory.

Am I crazy? Or was I just following the news way more closely than most people?

For what it's worth, if you didn't know: Stuart is played by a genuinely good actor very unlike the character... Kripke is a comedian out of the Upright Citizens Brigade community... Bert was a regular on Mr Show and has guest starred in an absurd amount of shows... Denise is a brilliant sketch comedian (her spotlight episode named after her, "Lauren Lapkus," in The Comedians on Netflix is one of the funniest 20 minutes ever put to film).

I personally have no fear at all. I haven't been this excited for a cast since Arnett, Sedaris, Tompkins, and Paul were announced for BoJack Horseman.
