As a family entertainer, I listen to, and sing along with, the Three Stooges as I drive to each gig. The light-heartedness puts me in the right frame of mind to entertain. The alphabet song is a good warm-up exercise for public speaking. I have about 6 favorite songs on the CD, and usually skip to those. Who would have thought they could sing??

Okay, so it ain't Curly, or for that matter, it ain't even Shemp, but this STILL stands (pratfalls?) as the one and only Stooges album out there. The last version of every male's all-time favorite knuckleheads recorded a bunch of kiddie classics, complete with the requisite mayhem that is all things Stooges. Moe, Larry, and Curly Joe, stars of the full length movies, comic books, and cartoon shorts of the 60's blunder their way through such dumb ditties as Looney Tunes theme THE MERRY-GO-ROUND BROKE DOWN, MAIRZY DOATS, ABA DABBA HONEYMOON, even OLD MACDONALD. Youngsters will probably get the most out of it, even as we so-called "grown-ups" pine longingly for a REAL Stooge retrospective, complete with audio clips from their numerous Columbia shorts' musical highlights with Curly and Shemp. What we'd REALLY like is the original SWINGIN' THE ALPHABET ("B-A-BAY, B-E-BEE, B-I-BICKEY-BI, B-O-BO, BICKEY-BI-BO..."), which is reprised here to lesser effect with Curly Joe, OH ELAINE, COME OUT, even something from WOMEN HATERS, their all-sung debut. And howsabout shovin' in that Jump in the Saddle Band hit tribute from the 80's, THE CURLY SHUFFLE, for extra good measure? The title for such an album of amalgomated morons?...THE THREE STOOGES' GREATEST "HITS"! Why, coitenly!!! RATING: THREE N'YUKS

The Stooges sound pretty good together in this combination of fun songs. I was searching for the 20's song, "The Merry-go-round Broke Down" (which eventually became the theme song for Looney Tunes cartoons), and came across the Stooges album on the Net (which included this song -- and very well done, I might add). I never knew they put out an album!
This was orginially produced in 1960, well after high fidelity, so the CD sounds great. Since it was done in 1960, the third Stooge at the time was Curly Joe. But they do one of my favorite songs from a Stooges short (originally done with Curly in the late 30's), "The Alphabet Song" (you know, B E be, B I Bi, B I bicky bi B O Bo Bicky Bi Bo B U Bu Bicky Bi Bo Bu") Such fun. And, between the song and downloading the above lyrics from the net, I can FINALLY sing it!
Another favorite is "Mairzy Doats." Aba Daba Hooneymoon is fun, and so is the ragtime, "Play A Simple Melody." Some other songs are more for kids (the original target audience). But, all in all, a CD worth buying.

These songs are hilarious. If you ever watched their shorts, you will laugh. Some like "Play a Simple Melody" and "Old McDonald had a Farm" are some old classics. The ABC song though is from one of there shorts. They teach a whole bunch of schoolkids by singing the alphabet and the kids take over. This is a must item for kids and even adults.

I take a lot of long car trips with my daughter, and Barney songs get old really fast. I've always loved the three stooges films, and I remembered the Alphabet Song, so I figured I'd give this album a try. Imagine my surprise when we both started singing along with it!
The songs on this album are a mixture of kid's classics (This Old Man, Old MacDonald), old time tunes (Peggy O'Neil, The Merry Go-Round Broke Down) and witty tunes disguised as nonsense songs (Mairzy Doates). As for the stooges, no they don't sound like the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, but so what? They sing in tune, but more importantly they genuinely loved performing, and every jolly note they warble is filled with that love.
I can recommend this album to anyone with kids (don't worry, there's no slapping or eye-poking). I can also recommend it to adult stooges fans (if that's not a contradiction in terms). It's fun, it's catchy, and its better than a poke in the eye, nyuk nyuk!
