They were doing that all the way back to the Healy days. Healy hits each Stooge in turn, and the NBC chimes ring with each hit. Supposedly, for a long time, the NBC chimes were the only copyrighted sound effect other than the creeping door of the Inner Sanctum.
@@kathleenking47 Yeah, but I don't think they copyrighted the sound effect. They did trademark "Bulova Watch Time," which I think Bulova still uses today. But not the same thing.
Love this compilation. You forgot the short titled Creeps where Moe, Shemp, and Larry hit their babies (played by themselves) over the heads and the chime plays. Other than that, love your Stooges compilation.
@@porflepopnecker4376 yep 👍 I was gonna mention that as you have put these together it really shows. IE: the gum scenes in Love at First Bite are perhaps his finest moment in that regard.
Did they ever make a 3-stooges pinball machine? I might have to do that for the retro gamers. Load the 3 balls up they drop on the head, makes that sound gives an insane score
And they were actual chimes -- a mini-xylophone -- that you received via mail when your station joined the network. I had a great uncle who was in early radio and lived that. (And played the chimes on-air.)
@@DilanCommunications Not that long. The peacock was adopted to flack NBC's new colour broadcasts. These shorts were taken from radio-era Stooges serials. NBC's radio transmissions were in black and white.
