The Beard - S6-E16

Other mistake: When George and Elaine are arguing about a bald woman rejecting him because he's bald, he says, "No one walks into a beauty parlour and says, 'Give me the Larry Fine.'" Larry Fine, who was partially bald like George, was a member of the Three Stooges. George should have said, "Give me the Curly Howard." He was another member of the troupe, and fully bald.

Suggested correction: This isn't a mistake; just because Curly was "more bald" than Larry, it doesn't make the joke wrong, or the statement an error. If anything, the fact that—as you point out—Larry's hair was more similar to George's makes it more appropriate that George references Larry rather than Curly.

Answer: Composer Jonathan Wolff used a synthesizer, although in seasons 7-9, a real bass is used in addition. Wolff also recorded himself making hundreds of mouth noises, pops, and slaps to add to the synthesized bass licks so that each episode has a different theme. The only real "back-story" is Jerry Seinfeld was having trouble coming up with a theme song and talked to a friend who happened to know Wolff. They wanted to avoid that cheesy late 80's sit-com theme song and Wolff came up with what we enjoy now. Jonathan Wolff has also talked about this further in interviews, recently Reed Dunela interviewed him, so for a fuller account of his story; check out "The Wolff of 116th street".
