About The Curly Shuffle

"The Curly Shuffle" is a novelty song written by singer Peter Quinn as an homage to The Three Stooges film comedy team. It was initially recorded by Quinn's group Jump 'N the Saddle Band, and first released in late 1983. The timing of the recording nearly coincided with The Three Stooges receiving their star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on August 30, 1983. This recording made #15 on the US Billboard charts in early 1984. In Canada, the song was simultaneously released by The Knuckleheads on Attic Records, while Jump 'N the Saddle's version was also available. The Knuckleheads' version was the hit in Canada, reaching #29 on the Canadian RPM charts. In Australia, both versions were issued, and both were minor chart hits.

When me and my friends go out on the town
We can't sit still and we can't sit down
We don't like to fight and we don't like to scuffle
But we dance all night doing the Curly shuffle
(Hey Moe hey Moe) hey Moe hey Moe
(Well nyuck nyuck nyuck nyuck) well nyuck nyuck nyuck nyuck
(La da dee la da dee) la da dee la da dee
(Woo woo woo woo) woo woo woo woo

Well we never miss a chance we get up and dance and do the Curly shuffle
Well me and my friends love Curly and Moe
We love Curly's brother Shemp and his fat clone Joe
It's such a delight to boogie and hustle
Dancing all night doing the Curly shuffle
(Hey Moe hey Moe) hey Moe hey Moe
(Well nyuck nyuck nyuck nyuck) well nyuck nyuck nyuck nyuck
(We dee dee dee we dee dee dee) we dee dee dee we dee dee dee dee
(Oh, wise guy) oh, wise guy

Well we never miss a chance we get up and dance and do the Curly shuffle
(That's right) that's right (ah ah ah) ah ah ah (woooooo) woooooo
Well me and my friends we all love to see
Comedy classics on late night TV
Those knuckleheads get in a scuffle
They push and they shove doing the Curly shuffle
(Hey Moe hey Moe) hey Moe hey Moe
(Well nyuck nyuck nyuck nyuck) well nyuck nyuck nyuck nyuck
(Look at the grouse, look at the grouse)look at the grouse, look at the grouse
(Woof woof) woof woof

Well we never miss a chance we get up and dance and do the Curly shuffle
(That's right)
We do the Curly shuffle (what did you say)
We do the Curly shuffle (that's what I thought you said)
We do the Curly shuffle (ah ah ah ah)
We do the Curly shuffle (certainly)
We never miss a chance we get up and dance and do the Curly shuffle.
