Novelty songs have a long history in the US. Purple People Eaters, Chantilly Lace, Monster Mash - they go on and on.
But one of the greatest was the Curly Shuffle by the Jump N The Saddle Band. Whoever does the vocals does a dead-on impression of Curly Howard of Three Stooges fame.
It’s hard to do justice to Curly Howard. The youngest of three brothers - Moe and Shemp were also Stooges - but Curly was unique in the annals of American entertainment. Love him or hate him, he’s impossible to explain.
A gifted basketball player and ballroom dancer, Howard never intended to go into acting until his brothers recruited him to replace someone in their preceding act.
