On July 7, 2009, a music video for the single "Misunderstood" was released on the Strange Music YouTube Account.[9]
When discussing the song "Misunderstood" in an interview, Krizz revealed the inspiration behind the production of the song. The idea struck him while watching an infomercial for the 1960s show, The Munsters. He called up the producer, Michael Summers, and told him to "youtube the Munsters theme song, then call me back and I'll tell you how to do this beat." He notes that several of the instruments used to construct the beat are the same used to compose the Munsters theme.[10]

gollark: Hold on while I upload it to the osmarks.tk distribution servers.
gollark: Also, anyone want an experimental PotatOS Hypercycle™ build?
gollark: You can just hit enter twice, it only checks if they *match*.
gollark: Oh, you need to set a password to continue.
gollark: Technically I could make potatOS preempt the thing force-rebooting it so that the user takes their fingers off the keys, but it doesn't do that.
