This article discusses the piece of music. For the character within the piece, see Grumpy Snail (character).

The Grumpy Snail is a 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 (4ACV18). Fry tried learning to play the piece in his holophonor class, but his lack of skill turned the snail into a monster that terrified his audience. Nevertheless, the holographic snail became a staple of Fry's subsequent musical career, even having a speaking role in an advertisement for "Fry's Greatest Holophonor Hits".
