It's nice too see the Stooges' opening theme is available on the multimedia gallery of this amazing site. Naturally we all know 3 Blind Mice but there were variations over the years. How many opening theme songs were used over the course of the Stooges run of shorts? There are no music credits in the opening of the shorts, was the music performed by a Columbia studio "house orchestra"? Was this the same orchestra that would be heard during the musical sequences of the boys?
Any suggestions for Curley Q. Links that might have more info on the musical side of the Stooges? I am trying to convince some musicians pals of mine who also dig the Stooges to come up with a Latin jazz or mambo-ized version of some of the music heard in opening and closing segments of the shorts, with possible sound effects in the middle of the song in the vein of what the Jump N The Saddle Band did with the Curley Shuffle some years ago. There are already 2 Cuban versions of 3 Blind Mice titled Los Tres Chiflados(The Three Stooges in Spanish), they're done in a traditional Cuban danzón style, danzón being a Cuban salon dance derived from the French minuet tradition but much more rhythmic and less stuffy.
If I can get a friend to record my 2 songs onto a MP3 or WAVE file, I'll submit them to the moderators for possible inclusion in this site's audio files archives.
in advance thanks....
