Whats the Episode with Elaine and her favourite song Desperado? I cant remember much about it apart from this guy singing it at the end.

Jerry should have just had a stamp made for endorsing the back of all those checks -- of course, that's part of why it's funny, that he would get writers cramps from endorsing a lot of checks for tiny amounts like .09�.

best, Dan

It's not her favourite songs, it's Todd Gack's. He won't share it with her. So she tries to wean him onto Witchy Woman. That's her favourite apparently. He resists!

At the end Jerry and Elaine sing Desperado to Todd after Jerry hit him with an axe handle.

In the operating theatre trying to save Todd from some sort of head injury, the doctor gets distracted by Witchy Woman coming over the sound system. Todd dies....

Thanks everyone, as I said I dont remember the episode very well. I do remember Kramer accomodating Japanese tourists in his drawers though. My head is a bubbling cauldron of Seinfeld incidents its hard to remember what happened where.

Actually, it was Brett's favorite song, since he was the guy dating Elaine in that episode.

Todd Gack was the guy from The Calzone who had discovered a "dating loophole" in which he could see Elaine without asking her out (e.g. losing a bet that Dustin Hoffman was in Star Wars).
