There are many iconic basslines in music that are known to the world. However, arguably the most recognizable isn’t from a band, but instead from a television show. The theme song to ‘Seinfeld’ includes a bassline everyone knows the moment they hear it and now that song is included on a ‘Seinfeld’ soundtrack that was released this week.
‘Seinfeld’ may have ended in the 90s, but the series still lives on thanks to streaming and syndication. Now, 23 years after the show ended, the series will release a ‘Seinfeld’ soundtrack featuring the music on the show. Along with the iconic theme, the 33 track album will feature songs created for the show, including some that were never actually used.
“The range of styles is surprisingly broad: hip-hop for “Kramer’s Pimpwalk,” happy whistling and guitars for “Jerry the Mailman,” a “Mission: Impossible” vibe for “Jerry vs. Newman Chase,” suspense-thriller scoring for “Cable Guy vs. Kramer Chase,” ’90s rock for “Kramer’s Boombox,” Eastern mysticism for “Peterman in Burmese Jungle,” and vintage guitar-and-harmonica blues for “Waiting for the Verdict” from the series finale,” reads a description of the album. According to Verge, the ‘Seinfeld’ album was released on Friday. Now ‘Seinfeld’ fans can experience the series in a new way.
