On October 1st, Curb Your Enthusiasm returned to the HBO airwaves after its indefinite hiatus started back in 2011. In celebration of the show’s triumphant return, Larry David, the program’s creator and protagonist, just released a Curb Your Enthusiasm playlist on Spotify that he hand-curated himself. The 27-song playlist contains a mix of tunes, including “I’ve Got You Under My Skin” by Frank Sinatra, “(What A) Wonderful World” by Sam Cooke, “The Godfather Waltz” by Nino Rota, “Rhapsody in Blue” by George Gershwin, “I Won’t Dance” by Fred Astaire, and “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You” by Frankie Valli.

Predictably, Larry David’s Curb Your Enthusiasm playlist opens with the show’s classic theme song “Frolic”, which was originally composed for the Italian film La Bellissima Estate in the 1970s by Luciano Michelini. David has previously talked about how “Frolic” became a part of the program, noting that he heard the song first when it was used in a bank commercial. Since then, it’s become a beloved part of Curb Your Enthusiasm, with David noting in 2009, “It just sort of introduces the idea that you’re in for something pretty idiotic.”
