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, composed mostly of covers, in 1984; meanwhile, "The Curly Shuffle" became a major U.S. hit, peaking at #15 on the Billboard Hot 100 that year.
The band entered into negotiations with Atlantic for a follow-up album in 1984. The label wanted them to record the song "Shaving Cream" for their next single, which the band did not favor; they recorded the song, but with added lyrics critical of the label, and were soon dropped.[1] Thus 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.[2]
