In three Three Stooges shorts; "Termites of 1938", "Gents Without Cents" and "Dutiful But Dumb" the same march tune is played. Does anybody know what it is?

Maybe: GENTS premieres a swing rendition of "Three Blind Mice" as the Stooges' theme music. Like the two versions heard from 1938 - 1944, this arrangement is by Leigh Harline and Ben Oakland; see The Three Stooges Journal #91. http://www.threestooges.net/episode.php?id=81 "Three Blind Mice", beginning in 1939 as a slow but straightforward presentation (dubbed the "sliding strings" version), often breaking into a "jazzy" style before ending. In mid-1942, another more driving version, complete with accordion was played fast all the way through. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Three_Stooges Jan 07 11, 6:17 PM

”Flat Foot Stooges” is something of a milestone. It marks the debut of “Three Blind Mice” as the Stooges new theme song, which would replace the twittering “Listen to the Mockingbird.” http://www.clown-ministry.com/index_1.php/articles/the_three_stooges_collection_bovolume_2_1937_1939/ Jan 07 11, 6:19 PM

No, I don't mean the title theme of the shorts, I meant a march tune that was played in "Gents Without Cents" when the Stooges' girlfriends did their tumbling routine, when Curly played in the broken radio in "Dutiful But Dumb" and the boys played to a phono record in "Termites of 1938". All I want is to find out the name of that march (and maybe its composer, too!) Jan 08 11, 4:50 AM

I think this is the scene from "Gents Without Cents" where the song is played, it begins about 3:25 into the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgMRlMl2BrE I'm afraid I don't know what it is. Jan 08 11, 10:31 PM
