I'm currently watching the 3rd season on DVD, and I can't figure out the name of this little piano ditty used for scene transitions starting with this season. I listened to audio samples of every track from the CYE soundtrack and didn't find it on there.

Can anybody help me out with the name?

Music
The show is punctuated between scenes with music orchestrated by Wendell Yuponce (first season), and from a music library company called Killer Tracks (seasons two to five). The opening and closing theme song (not mentioned in the credits) is "Frolic" by Italian composer Luciano Michelini. David heard the music used in a bank commercial years before the show was created and thought it had a lighthearted, joyful quality, so as to balance the show's otherwise downcast, gloomy feel. In May 2006, Mellowdrama Records released an unofficial Curb Your Enthusiasm soundtrack.[13]

3rd season is where the show really gets good, enjoy! I finally got and watched the latest season with the Seinfeld cast. Out of 10 shows, only 2 so-so ones and a few real gems. I hope the series continues.

I actually watched the 4th season before the 3rd due to availability at my local rental place, and really enjoyed that one, with the Producers storyline. Season 3 has been great, too, although I was unable to watch the last 5 minutes of the second-to-last episode and all of the last one due to a scratched disc. Grrr....

I'm thinking of just skipping to the Seinfeld season.

The fifth was my least favorite but still has some good stuff. The sixth season is an improvement though so that is worth watching,plus it really sets up the seventh.

Mr. Eh, thanks for your effort. That particular track isn't the one I'm looking for, and regrettably the Killer Tracks site isn't set up very well for me to look for it. But thank you anyway.

David once said one of the funniest things that I ever heard - that the closest that he ever came to dying was when he masturbated while he had the flu.

Scratched discs make me never want to pay more than $1 for a rental ever again.

Oh, I know. The disc looked like it had been used as a coaster or something.

Okay, finally got to see the last episode of Season 3, with the restaurant opening with the chef with Tourette's syndrome. Classic, classic stuff, great ending.

Cheryl Hines gets hotter with every episode. I hereby nominate her for Official IMWAN Babe.

And Ross, you're in luck. I read that Season 8 is set to appear in 2011.

Sweet!

Yeah, that Tourette's restaurant ending is awesome. "Fuck you, you carwash cunt!"

I should have mentioned earlier - one of my favorite shows. The last five minutes of season 6 were awesome.

I do miss the days when Larry was usually right about something and the shit hit the fan anyway. Nowadays he seems to be wrong just as much.

One of my favorite lines was when Susie Greene bellowed "Larry David, you sicko fucko asshole!".

Listening to Larry and Susie yelling at each other about which one was more "jew face" was a riot.

Funkhauser is always great too.

And Catherine O'Hara as Funkhauser's crazy sister.

The Black Swan episode from last season should be in the guidebook on how to write a sitcom. Classic.

Good stuff! Loved the Black Swan.

Just got caught up with the most recent season---what great stuff, probably my favorite overall. It was confusing at the beginning since I skipped over the previous 2 and had no idea who all these people living in Larry's house were at the start.

But oh man, this was some funny stuff. The Black Swan episode you guys mentioned was hysterical, maybe the funniest of the whole series.

The big payoff for me, though, was the Seinfeld reunion. Man, I just loved this---it was kind of cool how easily the 4 Seinfeld actors fell back into their old comic rhythms. Obviously, they all looked older, but except for Jason Alexander's George, none of them were distractingly so (based on how large George Wendt looked in his guest appearance as Norm on Frasier several years back, I think a similar Cheers reunion would be traumatic for me). It was nice to see Wayne Knight looking so much healthier and smaller, too, and I also liked the way they handled Michael Richards' meltdown from a few years back, which they obviously couldn't avoid.

I just wish we could have seen the full reunion episode instead of bits and pieces of it. Hell, it makes me wish they decided they had their creative juices going again and wanted to make another entire season of Seinfeld episodes. Why not?

Oh, and Cheryl Hines gets hotter and hotter.

"You had to have the crispy onions."

"Do you respect wood?"
