Best Coast mix nostalgia with a sweet melody on their new track, “Jerry (Maybe We Should Get Married).” According to Consequences of Sound, Bethany Cosentino, who sings the Seinfeld ode honoring the 20^th anniversary of the show’s finale, blends famous Elaine quotes like, “I hate men but I’m not a lesbian!” and “yada-yada.”

Stereogum reports the song was released via the Twitter parody account, @Seinfeld 2000, which is run by noted fan, Ezra Koenig, who previously sang the Seinfeld theme for a Junior Mint video game. In what could have been a clumsy effort, the new collaboration between Best Coast, songwriter Nick Lutsko and @Seinfeld2000, perfectly integrates dialogue and tune, resulting in a seamless song parody.

Best Coast, consisting of Bethany Cosentino and Bobb Bruno, formed in Los Angeles in 2009. The duo is known for successfully re-framing pop music of the 50s and 60s and have released three albums including Crazy for You (2010), The Only Place (2012) and California Nights (2015).

In a 2015 interview with Stereogum, the duo talks about their collaborative process: “Our way of working is pretty much exactly the same as it was the first time we ever recorded anything together. The reason why I think we work so well together as a duo has to do with the fact that we actually don’t write together, which I know people often think is weird. I can sit at home, write a bunch of songs and demo them, send them to Bobb with a little paragraph about what inspired it or which song by the Sundays I wanted it to sound like or whatever, and then he takes it and puts his own spin on it.”
