The Big Bran Hypothesis - S1-E2
Audio problem: When Penny is talking to Raj on the stairs to the apartments, during some shots we see her from behind. In one shot, we hear her say something like "And I'm freaking out", but you can tell by the way her jaw moves that she was actually saying something different. (00:14:50)
The Hamburger Postulate - S1-E5
Audio problem: When Leonard and Leslie continue to practise together after the other two musicians have left (Leslie now being the only violinist), vibrato from a violin can be heard - from observing Leslie's left hand she is not applying it.
Audio problem: When Sheldon is knocking on Leonard's door at the start, the sound is out of sync with the action.
The Barbarian Sublimation - S2-E3
Audio problem: When Penny walks out after Sheldon helps her with her game, we see Leonard start the music but the speaker doesn't start vibrating for over a second after the music has started. It should have started at the same time. (00:07:40)
Chosen answer: The song is called "Dark as a Dungeon" and was written and first performed by singer-songwriter Merle Travis in 1946. It has been performed by a wide array of artists, including Tennessee Ernie Ford, Harry Belafonte, Dolly Parton, Queens of the Stone Age, Kathy Mattea and Amy Grant. But it was made most famous when it was performed and recorded by Johnny Cash during his concert at Folsom Prison in 1968. According to Wikipedia: "It is a lament about the danger and drudgery of being a coal miner in an Appalachian shaft mine. It has become a rallying song among miners seeking improved working conditions."
