Seinfeld Theme Song

[Mind Eroded]

Not terribly surprising, everything about that show was fake. Worst TV show ever, imho. I get my fill of annoying irritating people pretty much every day; no need to spend extra time watching them be annoying on TV.

Yeah?...well the jerk store called...they're running out of you!

"Cannot possibly attend first night; will attend second, if there is one."

If you're going to go there, go with the best.

 

[Coolhandjjl]

Me too. Pretty sure this one isn't keyboard bass and I *love* it!

Always liked that one. Has sort of a skiffle feel to it.

 

[ggunn]

You must love House of Cards then.

Love that show! Frank Underwood is devious and evil, but Claire Underwood is Lady Macbeth.

Showing my age here, but I'm guessing the theme to Ducktales was synth bass as well. Fun to play on a real bass though!

 

[Holdsg]

this was real bass, and used by my university to get everyone out of the library at 11:30PM.

Two of my faves: The Streetbeater - Theme to Sanford & Son. This is the full 3 minute song!

The Fat Albert Theme Song

Bass on both is the legendary Chuck Rainey

Ah! Courtesy of my friend John Howard. This is definitely an actual bass, brings the slap, and Andy Griffith, all in one:

 

[CGremlin]

I didn't know this. The tune that made the masses aware of slap bass was done on a synthesizer.

I remember the first time I heard the "Seinfeld" theme. I'd worked in a music store in the late '80s and was like, "hey, that's the 'Slap Bass' preset on a Korg M1!". My faves are still "Barney Miller" and "Alf".

Fun thread! Okay, I'll play... how 'bout the theme music for Formula 1 Racing?

 

[Stranger Danger]

Seinfeld not Sienfeld

 

[stigbeve]

Whenever I play ANYTHING on the bass people mention the Seinfeld theme but when I actually play the theme no one ever notices

 

[Smooth_bass88]

I knew that the moment I heard it back in the 90s

 

[rogerbmiller]

Yup. I give Nightcourt the nod though....real bass there!

My rock band in college covered it. We did the theme for a bit and then medleyed into a generic porno music jam. Amazing what a wah wah pedal can do...

 

[Big Brother]

Beat me to it. Greatest theme song ever. Taxi, Barney Miller, the Peanuts theme and I Dream of Jeannie are close. I'm not sure if it is that boogying calypso or the memories of Jeannie that I like about the latter but either way it makes me want to do a spastic dance of happiness whenever I hear it.

You apparently missed the point of the show. That much of it was not all that loosely based on real occurrences made it that much impressive in tying it all together.

Here is a nice version of Seinfeld on a real bass...

Holy crap, I have that exact bass. I didn't even notice til I went back and clicked play. I bet nobody notices HER tone when she plays out!

I'm not sure she even has to play out, I imagine she is making a mint on YT.
