Welcome to the SDMB!

Here’s “Frolic,” from the YouTube channel of the composer, an Italian film composer named Luciano Michelini:

According to [this page](https://www.classicfm.com/discover-music/periods-genres/film-tv/curb-your-enthusiasm-soundtrack-theme-song-frolic/), it was apparently originally written for a 1974 Italian movie, _[La bellissima estate](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0138321/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0)_.

Here’s the theme to _Heaven Can Wait_, by Dave Grusin, from four years later. Not dissimilar, but not the same song.
