Hello (Lionel Ritchie) (The voice)

Side by Side. [The Voice]

Don't they play a Michael Jackson song in some episode?

I said:

Guess not...

Got a new one for you, Mike. In "The Dog", Jerry taunts Farfel with (and treats us to) a verse of "Goin' to the Dogpound."

"Goin' to the dogpound, everybody. Goin' to the dogpound, come on now."

Put that under 'Miscellaneous songs, real or made up:'

I gotta think your motto should be "No list is *ever* truly complete."

thanks for the great list. just a few things on the original artist section:

Morning Train (Nine To Five) (Sheena Easton)

i'm not sure, but i don't think this is a real song

Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) (Green Day)

also mentioned by another poster Shining Star (Earth, Wind & Fire) [The Bookstore(?)]

Nobody ever questioned this before. I think you are right. I can find no search results on the 'net. Anyone?

i'd also be interested in (if) other song titles named during that bit. i though that some were mentioned in the office and/or at the place where Elaine met the other winners. i don't remember them (if they even did exist) but suspect they were along the lines of their fake movie titles.

Mike, you are quite impressive.

Don

does the theme from merv griffin count?

I am not sure - what do other people think ?

Wasn't there a bit of the "Superman" movie theme in The Race" too?

It does, i'm looking (if that's possible) for "all" the songs.

Thanks for that one.

"Cosmo Kramer" wrote in message news:[email]...

in [The Clip Show] is "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" (Michael Jackson)

I think there is a Green Day song in that

also in [The Clip Show] is "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" (Green Day) (this one was already in the thread)

Near the end of the episode, "The Fatigues," Frank has a flashback to the Korean War and some very serious music begins playing. I can't remember the name of the piece, but I hear it on the classical radio station occasionally.

David L.A., CA

It's "Adagio for Strings, Op.11" by Samuel Barber, composed in 1936 when he was just 25 years old.

Interesting story: most people think the piece sounds very sad, and it was often used as a dirge to remember soldiers killed in battle. In fact, it was used for some of the dramatic moments in the film "Platoon", which is probably why it was used in that Seinfeld flashback to the Korean War. But interestingly enough, Barber actually wrote it as a description of hot sex. Weird but true!

i thought i heard a song in the handicapped spot yesterday, but i can't remember what it was

Was it the other night that Jerry mentioned "Laura's Theme" as a song coming out of a music box (a gift that he was thinking of giving elaine in The Deal).
