I love a lot of the current-at-the-time pop culture references sprinkled in to the shorts.
One of my favorite bits is in Some More of Samoa when Curly quips "Beat me, Daddy - down to the floor!", a take on the Andrews Sisters "Beat me, Daddy - eight to the bar."
-------------------
We know that Curly was a music lover, and I'd like to think that some of his many references to popular songs were ad-libs.
There are so many, and they're fun to catch if one is familiar with the hit songs and music of the period, such as when Curly yells "Seafood Mama" in COOKOO CAVALIERS or even a line like when he said "Don't do nothing till you hear from me." Those are titles or lines from popular songs of the day.
