The Three Stooges and Seltzer

I have just started looking into the relationship between seltzer and the Three Stooges. Such fun!

The www.threestooges.net web site defines their "Water seltzer fight" as a routine in which: "The Stooges get into a water seltzer fight by spraying seltzer bottles in each other's faces repeatedly. One of them usually ends up holding the bottle backwards and accidentally spraying some in his own face." Nice.

The same site recommends four specific Stooge films where you can find them. Do you know of others?

Yes, We Have No Bonanza
Three Loan Wolves
No Dough Boys
Love At First Bite

Others have also recommended Three Little Pigskins and The Woman Hater.

Not sure if you are familiar with a song by the Gourds (alt-country-eccentrica-twang band from Austin, TX)called "Caldonia" which bears almost no resemblance to the blues classics of almost that name. Opening lines: "A little song/A little dance/A little seltzer/Down your pants."

I believe that those are also the lines in "Chuckles Bites the Dust" that send Mary Tyler Moore into hysterical laughter. But of course you knew that.

Anyway, that's what this reminded me of. And now I really must do some work.

Yes, indeed, I delve deep into that quote, but never knew it made it into a song! Awesome. I will check it out - thank you for pointing me in the right direction.
