Lenny and the Squigtones - Night after Night

- Lenny and the Squigtones is a fictional musical group headed by Michael McKean and David Lander, the two actors who played the characters Lenny and Squiggy on the television series Laverne & Shirley. The group's eponymous debut album, Lenny & Squiggy Present Lenny and the Squigtones, was released on the Casablanca label in 1979. The album is now a collector's item because of credited guitar work by future Spinal Tap member Nigel Tufnel (Christopher Guest). A photo on the inside cover also includes two band members who look a lot like Derek Smalls and David St. Hubbins of Spinal Tap. Also includes "Murph", the keyboard player from The Blues Brothers, and "Ming the Merciless," purported to be Kiss drummer Peter Criss without his famous "cat" costume and make-up, though Criss denies it was him.
Squiggy probably popped into heaven and said... Hello..!
RIP David L. Lander
Or Hell
@Shy Cutie - Because those are the only two choices to go to. Heaven, or Hell. How do you know for certainty where he is?

I'm a fifty eight year old black dude from Philadelphia and thought these were the coolest corny dudes in the world. They should have gotten a spinoff. They were so damn cool because they didn't even try. You're definitely cool if you don't give a shit if you're the only person realizing it
I’m 61 yo white lady and I totally agree! This song is crazy funny!
SHOUT OUT TO PHILLY!!! I was a child of the 70's too man! I was living in West Chester at the time when I bought their album!
You sound like a cool cat, my friend
live in Houston 50 's...Yes they were the coolest!
I’m a 55 year old white dude from the South Carolina swamps and I agree with you my brother. Those guys carried the show.
This song deserves to be on the radio night after night........
🎶 Loved it 🎶
for two nights in a row?
@@Kissfan96dr yes
...in bed.
It was on retro and am radio! And American Bandstand!!!❤🎉😂 I loved this crazy song! And Squiggy!😀👀
RIP “Squiggy”. Thanks for being a part of my childhood 😢❤️
Comic genius and a little dirty at the time,they don't write like this anymore
HE DIED ?
@@odaydrumshe died December 4, 2020. I thought he was very funny actor. RIP
@@Mismoothness Bummer!
Didn't hear a thing about it!
😡😥
@@Mismoothness Oh no, that is sad RIP, thanks for the many laughs David.
Seriously, in a cheesy show, these two were comedic geniuses...every show they delivered. Very talented guys....
I agree; they were my favorite tertiary characters of the show. That said, Cindy Williams and Penny Marshall are comedic geniuses in their own right.
Watch spinaltap!
it was a GREAT show not cheesy. anything old is Cheesy if it isn't Seinfeld.
Every episode. :)
They were my favorite characters... I'm always looking forward for them to appear
Michael McKean is actually a really decent musician, all the way to spinal tap which was epic! Rest in peace David Lander thank you for being a part of my childhood
And after that, A Mighty Wind, and after that, Better Call Saul--and more. Michael McKean is a musical and acting phenomenon whom no one should ignore.

@@kendibble9963 who?
@@jasoneverettLenny lol
Spinal tap, did not know that.
I'll do a little name-dropping here: My Mom was friends with David's cousin, Geraldine Wilner. She knew I was a huge fan, so invited my mom and I over for a BBQ that David & family would also be attending in the Bixby Knolls area of Long Beach. I was 16 (1979). Very nice guy. Shortly after, he put me on his guest list at Paramount Studios, and I got to go watch countless tapings of "Laverne & Shirley", "Happy Days" and "Mork & Mindy". Those were good times.
That's so awesome!!
Lucky you!!!!!!!! 😎
Holy crap! Any good stories about the tapings ??
@@dwade6322 Well it was a long time ago, but I remember the Mork & Mindy tapings being the most fun. Because I had good seats, I was close to the set. I remember Jonathan Winters coming over and talking to me & my buddy about Baseball. Also remember once where Robin Williams came out in a bath towel (scene called for it) and behind the couch, he dropped his towel in front of Pam Dawber (Mindy)...on purpose! By PD's reaction, he had nothing on under that towel. Some of those M&M tapings took 2-3 hours because of his improvising and shenanigans.
That's amazing!! Lucky!!!
My grandma showed me this last week, I have been listening to this nonstop. This is the song all millennials should listen to!
Incredible talent is an understatement. These two characters are ICONS.
I hate it. But i disagree. I just dont understand the humor and they did nothing but annoy me. Obvs they all had talent…there was a low rent quality to all the jokes and laughs on these Garry Marshall shows. High school/juvenile mentality. I think that is what annoyed me about Happy Days, too. (And Blansky’s Beauties, too, lol!)
@@Mister_ListenerDid you forget to take your medications again today ?
@@briancleveland6115 yeah, Einstein. go ahead and make fun of me for saying Happy Days was brainless.
@@Mister_Listener I wasn't making fun of you I just wonder why someone would go to a video of a show that you hate just to rant about how you dislike it, and I suggested that you should think about taking the medications that your doctor prescribed to you so maybe you can get your anger under control.
@@briancleveland6115 you are a troublemaker. quit making fun of people’s comments or you will get reported and they will suspend your commenting for 24 hrs.
Thanks Squiggy, for ALL OF THE LAUGHTER!!!! You and Lenny were a RIOT!!!! Rest In Eternal Peace!!!!
what?!?!! squiggy is dead???? : (((( that made this horrible show watchable!
The 70s were the best time to be a kid. Tuesday night, Happy Days, L & S then Three’s Company. C’mon, what’s better today?
That is exactly how my Tuesdays went!!! Loved it!!!
It was a big night at our house. Years later we’d still reminisce about it. Mom is gone now. Those were some happy days.
Everybody thinks when they were a kid was the best time to be a kid.
It’s called nostalgia.
@@Vichedges you think kids today are gonna look back and think that? Some eras are better than others.
@@rdf098311 absolutely kiss today will think that.
You think when you grew up I’d best because it’s when you grew up.
I grew up in the 80s, I think stuff from that era is great.
My grandma grew up dirt poor during the Depression but she had a great childhood and loved to tell us about it and that time.
Like I said it’s called nostalgia.
This is actually a really good composition and vocal arrangement.
Back when music was good.
@@delano62 Do you mean when the show was set... '58-'65? Or when the show was filmed '76-'83? Music is still good. The good stuff is just harder to find now.
@@avidadolares I didn't say the singing was good, I said tbe vocal ARRANGEMENT was good.
Listening to this, I'm wondering in retrospect if Michael McKean wrote it himself.
@@tejaswoman Yes. He and David Landers were doing the Lenny and Squiggy act before the show. They had music albums. Christopher Guest first used his "Nigel Tufnel" moniker on them, and they also featured Murphy Dunne.
Lenny and Squiggy Were the reason I watched that show as a teenager!! Long live both of them!!
Me too😂
Lenny and Squiggy still hold up after 40 years! Can't say that for a lot of 70s tv.

Archie George and Fred would disagree.
Barney Miller
@@danielspallone2113 Barney Miller was the real game changer: a smart, fast-paced ensemble comedy that literally invented the multiple plot lines.
When I first heard the news I went straight for this video. RIP David Lander. Lenny and Squiggy will always have a place in my heart.
This was true comedy. The timing, the chemistry, the sheer talent. So sad to hear of David's passing. He still makes me laugh after all these years.
Same here.
Same here!
Adam Sandler stole they style, respect
Everybody went to this clip when news of D L's death came out.
I'm so impressed that they did this live... that's rare. I don't know how they got through it and kept a straight face the entire time, that takes talent. Well done!
Genius!
lenny plays real guitar in real life......good player too
@@zxccxz164 Well of course he does. Have you never seen Spinal Tap???????
The two of them used to do songs like this and it was how they were discoverd.
Laverne and Shirley wasn't a live show.
The talent it took for them to do this whole thing with straight faces! I long for this time again, rip Squiggy! ❤️
The 70s were the best years to grow up.
I got a funny feeling they laughed so hard, that was probably about the 20th take!
If you watch carefully, He is really playing guitar too. Its not a soundtrack.
@@jonathanleslie9100 Michael McKean is the real deal also played David St Hubbins from Spinal Tap
@@dgallodgallo Oh I know, but in the mid 70's it was very rare to have live recording music. Even shows like american bandstand, sha na na, rarely if ever actually had live performances. (Kudos to Midnight Special, they seemed to really put on a show.) Yet here this is a pre-recorded, low budget sitcom and MM is still playing live.
The great Andrew Squiggman has died at 73. He was a remarkable man who teamed with Lenny to form one of the great comedic duos in TV history. RIP Mr. Lander.....you were fantastic.
Yes!! For me, they're up there with Martin and Lewis
@@erikasteck2395 "Helllllo"
RIP Squiggy, thanks for all the laughs. This scene is one of the best!
Filmed in front of a live studio audience………
And they nailed it.
Totally nailed it!!!!
Michael McKean is such a good actor. Lenny will always be my favorite and it's refreshing to see Lenny after watching him as Chuck McGill on Better Call Saul.
The scene where McKean tears into Saul (“Slippin’ Jimmy with a law degree is like a chimp with a machine gun”) is one of the greatest scenes and performances in TV history.
Never gets old! Long live Lenny and the Squigtones!
I liked when a good looking girl walked by Lenny and Squiggy would bite the palm of there hand !
@@charliemartin5482 Their own hands...not the girls'. haha
He's Lenny....
Don't forget MAX!!😂😂😂😂😂😂
Such talented character actors. They really took their craft seriously, not just pretty faces reading lines. Much respect.
if you haven't seen it yet check out Lenny & Squiggy reunion. It's cute funny.
Laverne "That's the most disgusting thing I've ever seen!"
Door opens, in walks Squigy, "Hello!" 😆
LOVED THAT!!!!!!
Fave line is when Squiigy sang "Then I'll find me someone new, who won't be someone dumb like you"
That got me laughing
When Lenny sang...."but who wants to look at the same broad night after night.".......that had me rolling! My favorite line!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Both of those lines makes me crack up when I need a good laugh!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Someone who won't know how to fight and make me sleep on the sofa night after night
They were histerical back then. I still have the album they put out. It made it on the charts. Good memories. My sister who I love and recently lost, would break up listening to this. There was a couple other very funny songs on the record. Time has gone in a flash. This was 41years ago. Unbelievable. Every day is a gift. Try not to waste any.☮️
Shocking, ain't it?
Have you seen those Memento Mori charts? Interesting.
I was hoping they would follow this with a live rendition of their smash hit “sister in law”. 😂
Thanks for sharing your experience, I found it relatable and moving. One love.
At 64, I hear ya! Everyday ...the hours fly faster, I can't begin to keep up!
I gave a thumbs up to as many as possible because it's only the audience at the time can relate to my outdated humor and cherished memories of my childhood. I wish all a safe and memorable, rest of the 2024 year and if the time is near, may we go peacefully with no regrets. 🙏✌️🖖
The presentation, the lyrics, the playing, the voices and inflection...this is funny as hell! This can never be duplicated nor replicated ever again on national television. This is some good shit!
saw this when I was a kid....never forgot it....hysterical
Me too.
Never thought in a million years I would look back and say....these guys were geniuses..but they truly were.
Same here
Me too! I always loved the "talent show" episodes. Lenny & Squiggy's performances were my favorite!
Greatest lyric of all time “even true love can be boring, night after night”.
RIP David Lander. This is one of my very favorite songs of all times.
Oh my goodness, where was this last night , 37 years together last night. Gotta love the classic shows from our childhood... Night after night 👍 👍 🇨🇦 💖
These were my favorites "Lenny and the Squigtones" moments.
I love watching these old shows. This song was so funny!!
Night after Night...it's about two nights in a row!! You die of laughter just from that!! LOL!!
~~Night after night
I held you in my arms
~Darlin'
~~Night after night
I sampled all your charms
~Night after night, wa-ooh
Lately I can tell
~Wa-ooh
You're marching to a wedding bell
~Yeah
I only wanna do what's right
~But who wants to sleep with the same broad night after night
Night after night
~Night after night
Night after night
~~Night after night
I've treat you like a queen
~Darlin'
~~Night after night
'Cause you were seventeen
~Night after night, wa-ooh
Then your birthday rolled around
~Wa-ooh
So you let me go to town
~Yeah
Now I've lost my appetite
~'Cause even true love can be boring night after night
Night after night
~Night after night
Night after night
~We have nothing in common girl
~You know that's a fact
To marry a girl, I'd have to be cracked
~~Night after night
I'll think of you and smile
~Darlin'
~~Night after night
But only for a while
~Night after night, wa-ooh
Then I'll find me someone new
~Wa-ooh
Who won't be someone dumb like you
~Yeah
One who won't know how to fight
~And won't make me sleep on the sofa night after night
Night after night
~Night after night
Night after night
~Night after night
Night after night
Rdo. PEZ...So I see you have watched this video a million times...just like I have.
Awesome, except it “look” at the same broad, not “sleep with”. At least in this version. 😊
“We have nothing in common, girl,
You know that’s a fact......”
I have listened to this song so many times, I lost count! And I never could catch what that one particular line was! Thank you so much for the lyrics. Now I finally know it’s, “To marry a girl I’d have to be cracked!” Much appreciated!! 😁👍
you forgot the mm baba mmm baba mmm baba part 😉
Squiggy was my favorite character on "Laverne and Shirley". He always made me laugh just by walking in with his usual " Hello". David Lander was truly one of the most underrated comedic actors. I will always remember him fondly. God bless you and thanks for all the laughter.
Anna Davis....I agree. The two best comedic "sidekicks" in the history of television were ...Barney Fife and Squiggy.
"HELLO!"... thanks for the laughs and R.I.P. Squiggy.
Rest in peace, David Lander/Sqiggy! Thank you for the great comedy!
These guys were great back in the day. Lmao. Dont know how they held it together doing some of the stuff they do.
CLASSIC 70's TV. LOVE IT😂
Remembering David Lander aka Squiggy. This performance truly displays comedic excellence!
Too funny!, Lenny and Squiggy ROCK. The show was great with Laverne and Shirley of course, but these guys just enhances the show with their antics.
Michael McKean sent a tweet out tonight saying Garry Marshall has died. He said the last time he talked to Garry Marshall he thanked him for giving him the life he has today.
RIP Garry Marshall. Thank you for Lenny and the Squigtones
Saw that tweet as well. Sad to hear about Mr. Marshall's passing. He brought so much joy to so many people. Thank you for making us laugh. Condolences to the Marshall family and friends.
Garry, Penny, Today David Lander Sqiggy , also Mr C Tom Bosley and Joanie Erin Moran. And Robin Williams Mork started on happy days. All gone now. I sure am feeling older. Very sad but thankful for all the laughter they gave so many in better times. At least in my opinion they were better time's.
@@mgebi1 I know right.
@@mgebi1 Marion Ross is still alive
@@dgray9020 I realized after I made the comment. She was 91 last time they got together. I looked it up after. I think she's 92 now. I saw the photos on line. She looked good for someone at that age. I suppose I should correct it. Thanks!!!
These guys together were AWESOME! ♥️
I’m not that bing of a fan of Laverne and Shirley but the “two nights in a row” joke is the funniest line I have ever heard in a sitcom.
OMG! This shit always makes me laugh!
This was hilarious. I remember watching this back when I was a kid….well, the show itself. I don’t recall this particular episode nor the song, but I was cracking up. Soooo funny
I laughed so hard at that line😂
A High Light of that Entire Series.
Aww man...after all these years, this still makes me laugh and smile. RIP Squiggy...I’m sure Laverne is happy to see you up there 🤓🕊
I absolutely remember this episode... Just seeing this clip come up after not seeing it for, what, 40 years? I could still remember the chorus...
I can’t get this song out of my head now. Loved these guys.
RIP Sqiggy. You were the "Coolest".
Ahhh this hit the spot-seen it as a kid and it’s still great in February of 2020. I’m at the veterinarians office picking up my dog and a lady has a dog named Squiggy-I heard his name called and I laughed-she looked at me and said “ and yes I have a Lenny at home too!” Enjoy friends-Health-Happiness-Love & Peace to all
That is awesome😂
I had a Lenny and Squiggy also ❤
Lenny was a chihuahua and Squiggy was a maltese mix. RIP to both of them😞
Brilliant comedy. These two definitely added so much to the show.
Now sqiggy is gone Happy days spun off lots of talented actor's. I still have their album. I had to buy it back in the 70s it was histerical. Tjey actually didn't sound bad on some songs. Michael McKean had that 50s sound down pretty good. Rip Sqiggy. Thanks for the many laugh's you gave us.
I told my son about this song. I was convinced he'd love it. (I'm 47, he's 23. We're very close.) He wasn't enthusiastic to hear it. I played it for him last year. He loved it so much, we had to listen to it every night for months. Sweet, hysterical agony!!!!
Lolooololol
I just shared this song with my youngest Son (17) he said that's so stupid (lame but still cool). I went back a few mins later and asked so is it stuck in your head and to my joy not only was it stuck in his head he was watch this video again! I predict new bing watch craze!
night after night?
One of the best sitcoms on television history
So sad they don’t make shows like this anymore
Love this 😁 just had to watch it again after all these years 😂
RIP Cindy Williams you brought us all many laughs along the way 💞😪
Both Penny Marshall & Cindy are gone now. 😭😭😭
"I want you to SIT DOWN, relax and DANCE TO the rhythmous music of 'Lenny and the Squiggtone'"!
I'm Lenny
And I'm the Squigtone
And that's Max
My all-time favorite Lenny and Squiggy moment!
This is one of those bits that is so well done I can return to it once every 6 months and still laugh. They were both so good at their craft they made it look easy. RIP David Lander. Big hugs!
Same here!!!
I loved this series with all of my heart
Everything about this is wonderful... Their talent is completely charming.
"Because even true love can be boring. . . . Night after Night !!" Hahahahaha YES !!
RIP Squiggy. You and Lenny gave laughter and joy...and continue to do so...
RIP Squiggy. You were always my favorite Laverne and Shirley cast member, and THIS was my favorite skit.
This song is called ... Night after Night...it's about two nights in a row...HAHAHA
Funniest part!!
@@stonecoldfan3167 LOL @ two nights in a row !
My favorite line of the whole thing. lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
McKean has had one heck of a career. and Lander had the MS.
I love it, who would have thought these guys would still be cheering us up after all theses years!
'Who wants to look at the same broad night after night'. That's GREAT!!!
Play night after night on the radio regularly
This scene cracked me up when it aired, come 2020, it cracked me again when I viewed this posting! Truly priceless! R.I.P. Mr. Landers!
Great musical instrument....good beat.......the lyrics fabulous....hilarious...fantastic....thanks.....
Just showed this to my 3 1/2 year old...she loved it...loved these two since I was little. I was sorry to hear about Squiggy...parts of my childhood are going away all of the time😞 at least we have these videos to watch and the memories.
I’m a huge fan of Christopher Guests movies especially because of Michael McKeon. He cracks me up thinking when he was in Laverne and Shirley. What a great memory!!! Thanks
Man, Spinal Tap got off to a rough start before the line up changed.
And in typical fashion they were between drummers.
Notice, no drummer. Guess he had already died.
@@benbrownjr.7626 lol
They were still the Thamesmen. Gimmie Some Money was a breakout hit.
@@DaveAnchovies Or was it the New Originals?
Classic Lenny and Squiggy!
My wife and I saw Lenny and the Squigtones live at the Euphoria Tavern in Portland a long time ago. They put on a great show.
Back in the day , We had Lenny and the Squigtones and it was the greatest thing Milwaukie ever :) QC
Thats was great.. loved lenny n sqiggy..laverne n shirley was one of best shows of all time.. thank u to the cast n crew fir making my Tuesday nights at 830 as a boy.. so fun. Still love the oldies..
The main reason why I watched the show were for these two. Tv was fun back in the day.
RIP Squiggy. Long live Lenny & Squiggy! Thanks for all the great memories.
Rest In Peace, David L. Lander.
THESE GUY's SHOULD OF GOT A SPINOFF TOO!!
Better call Squiggy. I would not watch it.
martadoso9 Well, 'Lenny' got Spinal Tap and the Folksmen. And Better Call Saul.
should have gotten
@@NxDoyle they put out an album in 1979 Lenny and the Sqiugtones ..on guitar Christopher Guest credited as......Nigel Tufnel.
This was my favorite show when I was a kid and these two characters were hilarious to me! I loved them and still do!
They still crack me up
This is right up there with Spinal Tap. CLASSIC!
Michael McKean had a good singing voice.he also did his own singing as David st.hubbins in spinal tap.
RIP Squigy, i loved you and the laughs.
RIP Squiggy 😢😢😢
Wow! Thus holds up well over time! Now I want to go back and watch Laverne and Shirley to see what else flew past me!
This was a classic moment on TV I was a kid never forget this. Awesome
Fun fact: An actual album was released "Lenny & Squiggy Present Lenny and the Squigtones", by the Casablanca record label in 1979. This was the precursor to McKean & Rob Reiner getting the idea for creating Spinal Tap.
RIP David - thanks for the laughs
LOVE THESE GUYS♡♡♡♡♡
They have kept me laughing for 40 years! Thank you David Lander and Michael McKean for being hilarious XOXO
I watched Laverne and Shirley since I was 4 years old after Happy Days. Lenny and Squiggy are funny singing this song in this episode. Night after night, I treat you like a queen. RIP David, aka Squiggy.
RIP David Lander. You were amazing ❤️
I miss the days when you could come home from a stressful day at work, turn on the TV and watch something that would just melt your stress away. No politics, no agenda, just fun.
rip squiggy--hope you're singing a sweet solo in the afterlife
I miss this show, such amazing show and great casts too 👍👍👍👍
These 2 guys had the best comedic chemistry.
RIP david Lander...2 comic geniuses, they always brought the laughs every time... we will miss you dave.. 💔❤❤😘😘🕯🕯
Love the song. They were funny and good. R I P Squiggly.
