God bless everyone in that video. I’m 56 and was a kid and grew up with this, Happy Days,Good Times, All in the Family, Mash, Brady Bunch,Lost in Space!!!!
@@Juliaflo - he had been diagnosed with MS a few years after Laverne & Shirly had ended - he kept it a secret from everyone (except his wife and daughter) until 2000. Breaks my heart
I never imagined what Squiggy's singing voice would be like. I used to watch the reruns of this show all the time as a kid -- I think it's time to watch it again!
You wouldn't have guessed it to watch at the time, but Michael McKean would go on to a remarkable career. Apart from Lenny here, he'd be David St. Hubbins in Spinal Tap and Chuck McGill in Better Call Saul. Most actors would be lucky to get just one notable/memorable role.
I went to college in Milwaukee and lived their for awhile, great city but I never heard this song until today. I suspect most people in Milwaukee haven't heard it either. 20, 30 years ago a lot of people knew the Milwaukee Polka but I doubt if many people remember that either.
I grew up in the 70s to early 80s, and lived in Milwaukee for many years. I asked Google for Laverne and Shirley's fictional address and one of the answers was 780 Knapp street which is on the East side. It makes sense because of the buildings in that area, but it doesn't match the numbers on the building in this video. Milwaukee's east side and downtown sort of blend together in some areas. I never heard of Shotz Brewery, it might be fictional. I remember seeing Schlitz, Pabst blue ribbon, and Miller off of I94/43 downtown near the Marquette interchange. There was also a Wonder Bread factory near there. In the 70s and 80s, South Milwaukee was heavily influenced by German and Polish culture which explains the presence of Usinger's and Klement's sausages. I don't know if it's still there, but a Harley Davidson factory was somewhere in Milwaukee. UW Milwaukee is more on the south-east side. There's also Marquette University Downtown, and Milwaukee School of Engineering which are all very reputable colleges. Milwaukee is a beautiful place to experience, especially in Autumn around Halloween and Thanksgiving when there are fallen leaves all over the place. Make sure you have a strong car battery and a reliable furnace in your home because the Winters _"aint no joke."_
@@nuttysquirrel8816 Yes, "Shotz Brewery" was fictional. I believe it was supposed to represent "Schlitz". I have lived in Milwaukee my whole life. As a young boy, I used to take pride that both "The Fonz" and "Laverne and Shirley" lived (in the past) in my hometown. Even then, I knew it was fiction but still took pride in it. Genuinely nice song. Never heard of it before.
Nice little number by the cast. I liked this show and was even happier to see Betty Garrett reemerge. A big fan of musicals I remembered her in films like 'On the Town' and 'Take Me Out To The Ball Game'. She was paired up with Frank Sinatra in both of those musicals.

Come to Summerfest in June, it totally Rocks! twitter.com/Summerfest/status/981624300850634753/photo/1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.jsonline.com%2Fstory%2Fentertainment%2Ffestivals%2Fsummerfest%2F2018%2F04%2F04%2Fsummerfest-milwaukee-lineup-includes-lil-uzi-vert-steven-tyler-129-other-headliners%2F485831002%2F
I was Born and raised in Milwaukee. My brother was the person the Fonzie character was created after. He recently received a signed Photo from Henery Winkler that says something like "To the original Fonzie from Henry Winkler". He was a 1st class car mechanic who loved cars, and they were always spotless and still are. He's now 84 years old.
Lol? The show was filmed in LA with Hollywood actors. Even the skylines and houses in the show were actually shot in Indiana. It's funny to me you don't realize what you just said is completely nonsense
@@JohnSmith-tk7nt No, please tell me you aren't that du*b Please! I lived in Milwaukee in the 1950s with my brother whom the Fonzie character was based on. It has nothing to do with where the show was filmed. It was based on life in Milwaukee Wisconsin in the 1950's. How old are you? You do realize it was a TV show you were watching and it wasn't filmed in the 1950s didn't you? Do you think Star Wars was really filmed in outer space?
This is from the episode bus stop. So sad that they're all but one gone now... I can imagine the video of the song where one by one their voices an image fade away as we lose them...
@@joeb6245No no I never said Penny Marshall can't sing Lol. I said Penny herself said she can't sing. That was in an interview in the last couple years before she died.
@@joeb6245I know in the other Laverne and Shirley episodes she sang bad on purpose but there were some episodes where she sang pretty good. Or sang in her normal voice.
Sadly poignant that sitting in the very center is Michael McKean... everyone else has left us... he must feel somewhat lonely for his friends and castmates and to wonder why he's the last left...
Love this. Also, it reminds me how disappointed and confused I was when they moved the show's setting to California. I never did like the show as much after that--although I watched it until the end. Edited to add: A few days after my original post, I was tempted to give it a thumbs down because I have had this charming tune stuck in my head ever since. Just kidding --still grateful you posted it.
Phil Foster as Frank DeFazio Betty Garrett as Edna babish Penny Marshall as Laverne DeFazio David Lander as Andrew Squiggy Squigmon Eddie Mekka as Carmine The Big Ragu Ragusa and Little Cindy Williams as Shirley Feeney...
Michael McKean is now the only actor from this scene who is still with us.
R.I.P. to Phil, Betty, Penny, David, Eddie & Cindy......
I was just thinking the same thing. I never saw this before. Sad to think that they have passed. This was a show of my childhood.
I was just about to post the exact same thought but you beat me to it.
RIP to all.
thats so sad.
I didn't realize that. That is sad
Yep only Lenny is left
God bless everyone in that video. I’m 56 and was a kid and grew up with this, Happy Days,Good Times, All in the Family, Mash, Brady Bunch,Lost in Space!!!!
me too.
Ha me too....we had all the good stuff
How can you forget all the Gilligan's Island reruns that we watched after school. 🏝 😆
Me 2
Agree! Miss those days
33 and shows like these were my childhood 😊❤
Eddie Mekka had a great voice. He was a great dancer, too.
He was great in League of Their Own.
In loving memory of David L. Lander: 1947-2020.
He passed away??? How sad
@@preciousfox4740 Yes, had been suffering from multiple sclerosis for several years. An extraordinary talent.
@@Juliaflo - he had been diagnosed with MS a few years after Laverne & Shirly had ended - he kept it a secret from everyone (except his wife and daughter) until 2000. Breaks my heart
RIP Eddie Mekka
Hurts my heart to know we lost all but one. Love you Michael McKeon xo
That was just adorable. Only one left here with us, the rest flew over the Milwaukee Moon. May they fly high and rest in peace.
RIP David Lander, Andrew "Squiggy" Squiggmann
I only just learned this now, no idea how I missed it at the time!
The 70s.......the golden age of television. 😀
The 70's. The golden age. Period.
How lighthearted and wonderful! The show was usually filled with good comedic chaos, and this was a neat change of pace!
Face it, that was a FAMILY. RIP to everyone no longer with us.
What a charming song! Thank you Laverne and Shirley ❤️😘🌹
Written by Michael McKean, Lenny.
I never imagined what Squiggy's singing voice would be like. I used to watch the reruns of this show all the time as a kid -- I think it's time to watch it again!
rip david l lander, you are forever in our hearts🥺❤️

One of my all time favorite shows growing up.
Mine too! I loved this and Happy Days, All In The Family and Morc From Orc! 😂😂❤❤
😅
A time when you wanted to spend time watching TV ! Thanks for the post .
I always loved watching Laverne & Shirley. All of them, together, made that show fantastic!
Just about the nicest moment in the whole series. Somethingr really special about it
I love this. I hope people who live in Milwaukee start singing this like “New York New York” it’s so beautiful.
I went to college in Milwaukee and lived their for awhile, great city but I never heard this song until today. I suspect most people in Milwaukee haven't heard it either. 20, 30 years ago a lot of people knew the Milwaukee Polka but I doubt if many people remember that either.
I grew up in the Milwaukee area in the 70's and had never heard this until now. It's lovely.
Why? The song sucks

Genuinely nice song. Never heard of it before.
Probably my favorite song ever performed on the show. RIP Phil Foster, Betty Garrett & Penny Marshall
And now, David Lander.
Agreed 🙏🏽
Unfortunately we now have to add David Lander to the list as well. 😭 RIP
And now David L. Lander
Its a very good song , but Lenny and the Squigtone's "Night After Night" still reign's supreme because its about "...2 nights in a row."
This was really great. I thought I saw all the Laverne and Shirley episodes but I cannot remember this.
This was the tag ending of "Bus Stop"
Doesn't ring a bell, but it's cool
Man that street has the Best Acoustics!
And the live studio audience goes crazy with applause.
R.I.P. David Lander,Penny Marshall, Betty Garret and Phil Foster. One of my favorite Laverne and Shirley Moments❤️
Milwaukee-moon makes a great summer-song to sing @ night just before bedtime.
Nice little number by the cast. I liked this show and was even happier to see Betty Garrett reemerge. A big fan of musicals I remembered her in films like 'On the Town' and 'Take Me Out To The Ball Game'. She was paired up with Frank Sinatra in both of those musicals.
Absolutely loved her in "On the Town". Tremendously talented actress, singer, and dancer.
Milwaukee moon
Creepin' 'cross the sky
I've been such a lonely guy
But I can't spend these moonlit nights with you
Milwaukee moon
Here's a big hello
Take it to a guy I know
And say I'll be there soon
Milwaukee moon
My lips are blue
My heart was too
But not anymore
Cause I've been a brand new man
Since you've shown through my door
Do-be Do-be, Do-be Do-be, Do-be Do-be, Waahh-ah
Milwaukee moon
When you're on the rise
I can see my baby's eyes
And he can hear my tune
Milwaukee moon
(Tap dancing intermission)
Do-be Do-be, Do-be Do-be, Do-be Do-be , WHOP! (ba-doom, ba-doom)
Milwaukee moon
When you're on the rise
I can see my baby's eyes
And he can her my tune
Milwaukee moon
*VIOLETS are blue, my heart was too, but not anymore........" 😂
Thanks!
such a magical moment love it and so special. Eddie Mekka and the cast the best love them all
I've been binge watching Laverne and Shirley on my firestick. Just watched this episode. So awesome 😊
🙋🏻♀️😁😂
Obsessed with how this is staged like a musical
This needs to become a staple at Brewers games like during the middle of the 6th play it every game.
absolutely fabulous
My favorite show still
Loved This Show back In The 70s Still Love It Today❤
I miss this kind of tv.
What kind of tv was that? Wdym

This is my favorite song I. Stop playing this song 💋💋💋
Imagine walking down that sidewalk while this is going on.and Squiggy staring you down... lol.RUN!!
Eddie had a great voice.Loved it.
Good song. I watched this when new, as a teen. Always loved the Milwaukee eps. I have been to that city before.
Cool song I like it
I wish they shows like this today
God, I loved this show and these characters so much!
I so remember this... Such an Fun Loving Song!!!
I can't get enough of this wonderful song. Would love to hear a barbershop quartet, like Dapper Dans at Disneyland, sing it.
How delightful, thank you, big part of my childhood, too
Used to watch this show as a kid. Good wholesome fun.
Cool song thank you for posting this
Eddie Mekka had such a clean, vibrant voice.
As did Betty Garrett.
I have never seen this! Wonderful! I never liked it as much when they moved to California.
Those tap lessons finally paid off!
Good thing Betty Garrett was a part of the cast. She’s a singer and a dancer “Take Me Out to The Ball Game” and “On The Town”
Hey that's what I said. 😃
What a great song!!!
R.I.P. mrs.Babish,Mr.Defazio and Laverne❤️
....And now----Squiggy.
All of them are dead already?huy
@@alexandragisellechavez3564 - Cindy Williams, Michael McKean and Eddie Mekka are still alive. (Penny, David, Phil and Betty have all passed away)
@@SquiggyGirlForever eddie just passed which brought me here
remember this when it first aired during my high school days, the good old 70s
i loved this song❤️❤️❤️❤️
Lenny complains about heat but wearing a jacket. Lol
This is too cute!!!!!!
Get a little teary when I listen to this.
This is from the episode bus stop. So sad that they're all but one gone now... I can imagine the video of the song where one by one their voices an image fade away as we lose them...
Sad how much of the people have passed away already ! Rest in peace 🕊️
I sure miss shows like this
Lenny and Squiggy shoulda done a song each show, maybe Laverne chiming in.
This is so stinking good!
I loved this show sooo much
Penny says she can't sing and in most episodes she sings terrible but in here she actually sounds pretty good. And on key with Cindy for once 🙂
Nonsense she can sing. She’s no Barbra Streisand…. But she can certainly sing
Lip Sync city

Beautiful 💯💯🤗🤗😍
i love this song❤️❤️❤️
Such a cute show. I miss it.
Carmine is sooooo cute !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ragu and the dads girlfriend have incredible voices. like incredible talent
The one person who disliked this has no soul
Aka they are from chicago
They must have hit the thumbs down by mistake….
Guess their taste is all in their mouth…
He seems to have changed his mind…no more thumbs down
Ridiculous..The song is terrible
Absolutely Beautiful
Memories
Such a better time
RIP Eddie Mekka.
Love it
It said only Lenny's alive what a great show when I was a kid
That was great ! Good job ! 🤭😊
man i saw this show when it was on , never saw this
Love this
Sadly poignant that sitting in the very center is Michael McKean... everyone else has left us... he must feel somewhat lonely for his friends and castmates and to wonder why he's the last left...
