For all that Curley went through in his last years I'm glad he has this song in his memory. The video syncs well with the song. Nice job.

[@cneterer]

Yes, poor Curly with his many divorces and strokes. And people slapping him in public because they thought what they saw on the screen was real. Sad end to the life of a natural comedian who brought happiness to so many people.

Interesting Fact: whenever there was a pie fight scene Moe was the one usually throwing the pies from off camera. He was a baseball pitcher in his youth and the directors said he was more accurate than the stage hands.

Saw them live onstage at the Granada movie house on Church Ave in Brooklyn when they were promoting "The 3 Stooges in Orbit". To this day, the best 25cts I ever spent. A very close 2nd, $5 to see The Beatles in 1965.

[@evilwillhunting]

My childhood, right here. I still remember watching one episode when I was 5, on Christmas Eve. I forget the episode but Larry dresses like Santa, and in the end he's retreating down a hallway as an angry hotel manager is shooting him in the butt with a revolver. Every shot, Larry would jump in the air and the sound of a bullet ricocheting off of metal clanged out. I was literally rolling on grandma's shag rug, laughing so hard my face hurt and tears were running down my face. My sides were actually cramping up and I was gasping between bursts of laughter. Grandpa had to come in to see if I was dying or what. Forty years later, I still smile thinking about that scene.

Jerome Horwitz(Curly Howard): the definitive comic genius of the 20th Century.

[@HinknownUnson]

The one and only 3 Stooges. Pure genius, and I even got to where I can appreciate Shemp a lot more than I used to. I think's he's way underrated. My best to all.

[@vsgfilmgroup]

Shemp's only real problem is that he wasn't Curly.

[@CairnTerrier69]

In a way, Shemp at times is even funnier than Curly. While Curly was a very funny physical comedian, Shemp could deliver some hilarious lines and truly play the part of a bumbling stooge. He was great!

[@vincentzito3933]

Hot Scots.... And Malice in the Palace. Two of the best Shemp episodes.

[@Astra_1999]

I heard this song on the radio a few days ago I didn't understand it at all and thought it was the goofiest song ever from the 80's (since the radio I was listening to played mainly 80's songs). I even turned to my mom and said "Y'know some songs from the 80's really haven't aged well." and we had a chuckle. Now that I'm listening to it again and realizing it's about the Three Stooges it makes a lot more sense. It makes me remember that it's hard to appreciate something you don't understand.

[@covrace]

In 1986, a local radio station here in ny redid the song because the 86 mets were doing so well. It was called "the shea mets shuffle".

[@welleffitthen]

I remember watching these as a kid (early 70s) and a family with some kids moved in next door. They would come over and we'd watch these. They didn't know hardly a word of English and still found the shows hilarious. It takes comedic genius to do that that could never be matched today. I also always thought that in the one when they were plumbers and they connected the water line to the electric. The guy who played the cook, coming in with a raincoat as water pouring from the stove. I know he was only in a couple episodes but he should have been in many more, even as the fourth stooge. A bad episode of these guys don't exist. My favorites are when they put the cats in the piano, when they are plumbers, and the one with the restaurant when the customers think they are really cooking a cat and dog. And don't forget disorder in the court. I heard somewhere that when they show the jury that's Moe and curlys parents sitting the bottom right in the jury.
