What did Phoebe Bridgers say about "DVD Menu"?
Genius Answer

It’s a reference to the last song on the record—a mirror of that melody at the very end. And it samples the last song of my first record — “You Missed My Heart” — the weird voice you can sort of hear. It just felt rounded out to me to do that, to lead into this album. Also, I’ve been listening to a lot of Grouper. There’s a note in this song: Everybody looked at me like I was insane when I told Rob Moose — who plays strings on the record — to play it. Everybody was like, “What the fuck are you taking about?” And I think that’s the scariest part of it. I like scary music.
