Jump 'n the Saddle Band was an American

covers, in 1984.[2] "The Curly Shuffle" eventually became a major American hit, peaking at #15 on the Billboard Hot 100 later that year.[2] The song also peaked at #30 in Australia.[4]
Much of its success can be attributed to the music video, which contained many Three Stooges clips.

The band negotiated with Atlantic for a follow-up album in 1984. The label wanted them to record the song "Shaving Cream" as their next single, but the band did not like the idea, so they recorded the song with lyrics critical of the label and were soon dropped.[1]

Their success was short-lived, and the group never again enjoyed nationwide exposure.[2] The band continued to play in the Chicago area, still performing into the 2000s.[5]
