It has proven quite difficult to definitively identify the original source for the image, but I found it with a Google search for "Swing Doggo".

Swing Doggo's Lullaby

Extended storytelling before and after the events of Rumpelstiltskin.  Some backstory in the first half, and a second half throws doubt on whether the story's ending is especially happy, all things considered.

Agent Scarlet

Polyhedra's Blues, with a Mindy's Bakery skit.
Written for 8-Bit Music Theory Discord weekly challenge, Frankenstein week.  (Must satisfy three previous prompts.  Chose RNG + Jazz + Duet)

A duel between Matt/MTaur and The Muffin Man ( DerHealsmann / https://soundcloud.com/lucas_kelly )

Skit:
Me (Matt)
Moogleman ( https://soundcloud.com/rkirsling )
Spouselady (Mindy)

The first 7 melody notes of Polyhedra's Blues were rolled randomly from the chromatic scale using 12-sided dice.  The result sounded like a Thelonious Monk blues, and it inspired what you hear in this song and the skit surrounding it.

Monk is a unique sound, and can be jarring if you haven't heard it before.  To some extent I attempted to imitate it here.  There's no real substitute for the original:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrKpffh8TY8

Polyhedra's Blues Plus Skit

Entry for the Discord 8-Bit Music Theory weekly contest - composition - Animal Crossing title screen week.
