The Pool Guy - S7-E8
Trivia: When Jerry, Elaine, and Susan are at The Movie "Chunnel", Susan is annoyed while Jerry and Elaine are talking during The Movie. Listen to The Movie dialogue in the background of the scene. The Voice which yells "Everyone out of the chunnel!" is that of co-creator Larry David.
Trivia: The man who returns George's $20 bill and says "Sorry, your highness, but we don't accept bills with lipstick on the president", is the show's co-creator Larry David.
Trivia: Armin Shimerman hated guest-starring in this episode. He has described the four main characters as being dismissive and ignoring him completely outside of filming. At one point, Jerry Seinfeld and Julia Louis-Dreyfus sat down on either side of him, on a bench, and talked "around him" for half an hour, as if he were not there.
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".
