First off, I'd like to remind everyone that the tie-in novella for the show, titled "Sympathy for the Devil", has released in ebook/audiobook form. Linking that post here for anyone needing more information. It's available on Amazon and through a Disney imprint. Maybe other places too, I haven't really checked.

now that I've watched it, the best part of the cameo for me was the way they threaded the song into the show. The embrace of music in all its forms is something that I have absolutely loved about this show from the beginning. Something about the way they use music, both contemporary music and the live orchestral score, just makes the spirit soar.

I would say that's definitely a credit to Seth. He champions using a live orchestra for all of his shows, like since Family Guy started, and for the albums he's recorded as well. And he's a nerd for musicals.
