Since the OP isn't using the loop counter a simpler solution
is simply

for x in range(3):

>> i,j,k = 3,3,3
>> while i != 1:
>>    print 'Larry, Moe & Curly Joe!'
>>    i -= 1
>>    while j != 1:
>>        print 'Go Mad!!'
>>        j -= 1
>> while k != 1:
>>    print 'Go-go bad-bad!!'
>>    k -= 1
>> print '\nBye-bye.'
>>

To the OP:
It helps if you show us what you tried so that we can see where
the misunderstanding is. What did you do and what happened?
