Music on Seinfeld

Th Crimes on Seinfeld post: Have to agree with the observer who noted we have a pretty unsavory collection of characters here. (Didn't realize so much criminal activity. And appears Kramer is the only one to receive state-sanctioned punishment, thus getting himself a criminal record, for stealing the lobsters.)

Now what about music references? I've thought of seven so far (including two of my favorite Broadway shows), two of which were in the same episode and with which I'll start off: "Desperado" and "Witchy Woman." (Am almost ashamed to admit I used to shush a girlfriend when a certain song played on a tape I compiled of Neil Diamond tunes (most certainly NOT "I Am I Said," tho' I do like that song, Dave Barry be damned).) So that Seinfeld episode (name?) I found especially funny.

What other references to music on Seinfeld?

"Heartbreaker" by Pat Benatar - the song George Steinbrenner was singing and messing up the lyrics to in "The Nap"

"Downtown" by Petula Clark - In "The Bottle Deposits"

"Master Of The House" from Les Miserables - The song George couldn't get out of his head in "The Jacket"

"Wind Beneath My Wings" by Bette Midler - Kramer sings it to Bette in "The Understudy"

There were also the big band songs that Elaine was able to name in "The Mom And Pop Store"

George also sang "The Most Beautiful Girl (In The World)" after he broke up with Susan and wanted to get back together with her.

Good one! George also sang Nillson's "Everybody's Talkin'" after he bought the 'Jon Voight car'. And last night's syndication episode had George singing "How do you solve a problem like Maria?" and "Lemon Tree".
