Continuity mistake: When "Mulva" is giving Jerry a neck massage, check out the bathroom door in the background. It keeps changing from open to closed.
The Contest - S4-E11
Revealing mistake: In the scene where Jerry and Marla are making out on his couch, at the top right window you briefly notice someone walking by. This is impossible because The Apartment that Jerry lives in is on the fifth floor.
Continuity mistake: In this episode, George asks Russell if his last name contains a "y" and Russel answers that it doesn't. However, Russel is credited in this and subsequent episodes as "Russell Dalrymple."
The Outing - S4-E17
Factual error: Kramer gives Jerry a two-line phone for his birthday, which Jerry plugs in and immediately uses. But a two-line phone requires the installation of an actual additional phone line. What Jerry was using when the NYU reporter overheard him "admitting" he was gay was simply call-waiting.
Continuity mistake: When they initially pull into the handicapped parking space, George is driving a large yellow Cadillac. When they return to see the car destroyed, it is now a much smaller blue car.
The Airport - S4-E12
Factual error: In the episode where Jerry is upgraded to first class while Elaine struggles in coach, the scene changes to show a plane flying with the colors of Southwest Airlines, and you can make out the name "Southwest" written on the tail if you pause as it's landing. Anyone who has flown them knows that there is no first class on Southwest.
Audio problem: As the doctor is explaining how he thinks there were other factors at play to stave off the infection, when he says "something perhaps..." his mouth/lips do not move.
Deliberate mistake: When George is watching Home Alone, the sound effects and music that are heard aren't actually in the film.
Continuity mistake: When Kramer is telling the fantasy camp story to Jerry and Elaine, the suitcase in the background is open different amounts during different shots. (00:09:55 - 00:10:40)
Audio problem: When it cuts from Elaine to Kramer, the audio of what Kramer says is audibly split, as it sounds like he was speaking previously but it was cut off. (00:11:30)
Continuity mistake: After Kramer walks into Jerry's apartment, he shuts the door. However, in another shot a couple seconds later, the door is inexplicably wide open. (00:01:45)
Continuity mistake: During a conversation with Kramer, Jerry is holding a drink in his left hand. Although he is never seen setting it down, the drink disappears in the next shot and he has his arms crossed. (00:02:10)
The Implant - S4-E19
Continuity mistake: During the wake for Betsy's aunt, George puts snacks on his plate while talking to the reverend. He puts at least 6 pieces on his plate while the next shot of his plate shows only 2. (00:14:15)
The Ticket - S4-E4
Continuity mistake: George is in Jerry's apartment and he is unshaved, maybe a 2-day beard. However in the next scene after he leaves The Apartment with Jerry, he is shaved again.
The Old Man - S4-E18
Revealing mistake: After The Old Man's dentures are destroyed in the garbage disposal, he shouts that his dentist is "downtown." There is sibilance audible in his production of the T sound (after the stop release). Sibilance is high frequency noise cause by turbulent airflow directed at the front teeth vibrating randomly in a small space; if he had no front teeth, there should be no sibilance. (00:14:35)
Continuity mistake: When Kramer enters Jerry's apartment, he closes the door. In the next shot, the door is wide open. A few shots later, George opens the door, which was closed when he entered.
The Airport - S4-E12
Deliberate mistake: In this episode Elaine angers the bag man and he puts her bag on a plane to Honolulu. When Jerry and Elaine arrive in New York and are waiting for their bags, it cuts to the "Hawaii" airport and shows Elaine's bag coming out to the baggage claim belt. This was a deliberate mistake as there is no way Elaine's bag could have gotten to Hawaii at the same time Jerry and Elaine are waiting for their bags in New York, since they only left from Missouri.
Answer: Composer Jonathan Wolff used a synthesizer, although in seasons 7-9, a real bass is used in addition. Wolff also recorded himself making hundreds of mouth noises, pops, and slaps to add to the synthesized bass licks so that each episode has a different theme. The only real "back-story" is Jerry Seinfeld was having trouble coming up with a theme song and talked to a friend who happened to know Wolff. They wanted to avoid that cheesy late 80's sit-com theme song and Wolff came up with what we enjoy now. Jonathan Wolff has also talked about this further in interviews, recently Reed Dunela interviewed him, so for a fuller account of his story; check out "The Wolff of 116th street".
