A home video of Teddy Geiger and a photo scrapbook are also featured on the DVD. The special edition includes remixes of Geiger's latest singles, a newly recorded track, and some never-before-heard demos that he made before his mainstream success with Underage Thinking. The audio portion of the re-release is available on iTunes and Napster along with the exclusive bonus track "Amazingly Fat Cows", one of the first songs Teddy recorded.
The song "Gentlemen" featured in the film Aquamarine (2006).[3]

Singles
- "For You I Will (Confidence)" is the first single from Underage Thinking. The song was released on September 6, 2005. Later, the song was released as a CD single on June 27, 2006. The song can also be found on his 2005 EP Step Ladder under the name "Confidence". The single version has more rock music influences. The single was certified platinum by RIAA on April 13, 2006.
- "These Walls" is Teddy Geiger's second single from his debut album. The single was released in September 2006 in the U.S. In the song, Geiger sings about someone who started out thinking some particular thing was okay, but as that person kept on doing the thing, the water kept rising up to his knees. And now, the person doesn't know how to get out of the problem. The song was less successful than "For You I Will."
