Frolic (song)

"Frolic" is a song composed by Luciano Michelini, an Italian composer. It was composed in 1974 for the film La bellissima estate, where it was used to represent the character of the barone rosso. "Frolic" is better known as the theme from the American sitcom Curb Your Enthusiasm. It was chosen by the series' creator, Larry David, who had heard the music in a bank advertisement four years prior. Apart from that, "Frolic" has been used as backing music for several advertisements, and a rap song by Snoop Dogg.

"Frolic" takes inspiration from circus music and the bossa nova. The piece features a combination of a tuba, a mandolin, a banjo and a piano as well as several instruments used for effects. This combination of instruments has been frequently commented on due to its unusual nature.
