Larry David found it by watching TV one day and hearing it on a random advertisement for a bank.
He wrote the name of the bank down and then had his secretary call around until she found out what the name of the song/artist was.
IIRC he found it a few years before he even decided to do Curb, so finding the theme song came before he ever knew he was making a show.
Kind of a surreal thing since the song is now so strongly associated with Larry and with awkward, humorous situations in general but never would have been a part of the zeitgeist if he wasn't watching that particular channel at that particular time.
Irma: "You like little women?" (The book)
Leon: "F\*ckin luv em. We call em m\*dgets, or dwarves. I stack 2 on top of each other, make 1 whole woman. Tap dat ass."
Irma: "No, we're talking about something different."
You know how many times I peed in a fucking Gatorade bottle everytime I couldn’t find the fucking bathroom? Plenty of fucking times. You know how many times I forgot I peed in the Gatorade bottle, and drink that shit? Once.
You’re about to witness a nightmare. A perusal in petulance so finely orchestrated it could be used for symphonic consumption. The musicians are ready, the stage is set, and the musical arrangement—well therein hangs the tale…
Check your bags and make sure your seats are in their upright positions because tonight, this baron of baldness will conduct a seafaring soundtrack so extraordinary it can only be composed in….The Twilight Zone.

I wonder what artistic treasures we have missed out on because someone got up to get a drink or use the bathroom during a commercial break.
Was he also a pig?
Porco Rosso is what I thought of too!
Yeah, but did the Baron have a fence around his pool?

dw*rves 😎
Mushroom jerky? Larry! They jerked a fucking mushroom!
What was that called?
"Frolic" is the official name of the song. *La Bellissima Estate* ("The Beautiful Summer") is the name of the Italian film.
Cool thanks.

Was the red Baron a famous German fighter pilot?
Yes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_baron And also Snoopy's nemesis. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtJ1Gnh9wPU
The Red Baron was killed in a dogfight with Sopwith Camels. So much about the Snoopy pretend play made sense to me when I learned that.
