The Grumpy Snail

The Grumpy Snail is piece of music written to be played with the Holophonor by those who are beginners with the instrument. The hologram that is produced consists of a snail crawling on a tree branch.

Fry tried learning to play the piece, but his lack of skill would turn his snail into a monster that terrified his audience. The holographic snail would become a staple of Fry's music, becoming more distinguished looking as Fry's performances improved and even having a speaking role in an advertisement for "Fry's Greatest Holophonor Hits".
