Jump 'N the Saddle Band
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump 'N the Saddle Band was a country pop group from Chicago, Illinois. They scored a regional hit with the novelty song "The Curly Shuffle" in 1983, a tribute to The Three Stooges. As the tune picked up steam on radio, the group signed to Atlantic Records and released a self-titled album in 1984; meanwhile, "The Curly Shuffle" became a major U.S. hit, peaking at #15 on the Billboard Hot 100 that year. Since they had made their reputation as a joke act, their success was short-lived, and the group never had nationwide exposure again, but they continued to play in the Chicago area, still doing shows into the 2000s.
