Rockin' Funnies: The Curly Shuffle (1984)

The Jump 'N' The Saddle Band paid homage to the Three Stooges with their 1984 1-hit wonder, "The Curly Shuffle". The only Stooge not shown is Joe Besser (ex-The Abbott & Costello Show), which tells you something about how Stooge fans perceive Besser's time as part of the team.

I always liked this song - so different from anything else that was on the radio at that time - or since! I have yet to hear it on the radio since the early 90s.

Curly Joe Besser is mentioned briefly in the song as "his fat clone Joe".

Of course there are also the Curly vs Shemp debates which are second only to the Ginger vs Mary Ann debates in your local bar conversations.

No, that was Joe DeRita, who was shown in the video when they reached that verse. Had Besser been mentioned, there'd have been a clip of him, too.
