What was that song?

Please help me identify this song from the HBO series "Flight of the Conchords".
Please identify the acoustic song that appears in the 3rd episode "Mugged". It starts at about 19:50 minutes into the show on the DVD (when Bret makes Jermaine a pizza with the eggplant face) and is not "Think About It. Think, Think About It" or "Hip-Hopopotamus vs. The Rhymenoceros". I cannot find the particular bit of the show on Youtube or Google.
Is is a well know piece of music? An acoustic version of a different FotC song?

Doing some digging: WhatTheFolk only lists the two songs from that episode, as does Wikipedia. So I suspect that it probably isn't one of their own songs.

Best answer: It's incidental music, so there aren't lyrics and it wouldn't be listed as an official song. They're writing their own incidental music. (source)

Best answer: I am pretty familiar with their music, but I can't recall hearing this anywhere else. Like ochenk said, it sounds like purposefully-composed background music to me.
I snipped the music from the episode into an mp3 for you, maybe someone else can identify it from that.

Seconding ochenk. It's Conchords-composed incidental music. I seem to remember that tune showing up a lot throughout the series.

I agree that it's incidental music and probably by Flight of the Conchords, it sounds similar to their other incidental stuff and I'm pretty sure I've heard that same tune used as incidental music in a later episode.
Definitely not an acoustic version of an FotC song, I would recognize it.

You've got your answer, but FWIW I agree with the previous posters. It's not one of their regular songs.

Maybe it would be helpful to direct this question to What the Folk, the FOTC website.
