Laverne & Shirley - Laverne and Lenny sing "The Look"

Season 6, "Sing, Sing, Sing."
Lyrics:
Standing on the corner
(Standing on the corner)
Stretching out her sweater and popping her gum
I'm standing on the corner
What does he think?
I ain't so dumb
I know the look
She sees that look in my eye
I know the look
She knows that look in my eye
I really wasn't born yesterday
I'm not a little girl
But I know my way around a boy like you
Driving down the highway
(Driving down the highway)
Slowing at the shoulders and hugging those curves
We're driving down the highway
But it's not the road
That gets on my nerves
It's the look!
She sees that look in my eye
It's just the look!
She knows that look in my eye
I really wasn't born yesterday
I'm not a little girl
But I know my way around a boy like you
I want to meet your mother
(You want to meet my mother?)
I want to meet your brother and dad and sis
Oh-oh you want to know my number?
(Yes, please!)
I can't tell you that
I can tell you this
I know the look
She sees that look in my eye
I know that look!
She knows that look in my eye
It really isn't fair to waste your time
To you it's just a game
But the thrill ain't mine
And I know the look
She sees that look in my eye
I know that look
She knows that look in my eye
I really wasn't born yesterday
I'm not a little girl
But I know my way around a boy like you
She sees the look
And she knows the look
(Look! Look! Look! Look! etc.)
She sees the look
And she knows the look
(Look! Look! Look! Look! etc.)
She knows the look
And she sees the look
(Look! Look! Look! Look!)

We are all so lucky to have grown up in that era. I don't really understand how our world could have gotten so skrewed up.

Ive also seen the Thunderbird and several tribute bands to the 60s Motown and "LEGENDS" portrayal of stars "Cyndi Lauper", "Michael Jackson", "Queen", "Marley" and "Prince".

[@user-xg7yp7py7d]

"Whenever ten pennies are a dime, you'll always be a friend of mine". Said Penny Marshall to Cindy Williams - how sweet is that? 😊 Plus she was the the first female director who exploided the box office 👍😉.

You can tell at the end how much fun they had and care for each other with the big kiss

Love Laverne's outfit. Forgot about this episode. One of the best sitcoms ever. They must have shot that segment over a couple of days. Carmine's shirt changes. Starts out green then it's yellow then green again.

I see what you did there. 😉 Yes, she was all of those things. In this number, she's having fun singing, which is the most important thing, but I wouldn't mind hearing this song with a better vocalist. (Please, I'm trying not to trash her. Even the most talented people have weaknesses.)

Thank you Penny Marshall, for all the countless hours of great entertainment that you have given us over the years. Your TV shows and movies, and all the characters you helped to create in them, will live on forever. There wasn't another one like you, and there most likely never will be. May you rest in peace.

[@peterrice7739]

Way to go, Laverne. What an amazing and truly remarkable performance. You and Shirley are America's Sweethearts of the late 1970s and 80s.

[@peterrice7739]

At first I thought Penny Marshall's singing voice wasn't all that great. But when I heard her performing this song with Michael McKean, I was pleased to see that she handled it very well. While not a really great singer, she did have a fine voice suitable for doing pop songs.at a fast tempo. They both did a great job on that number. Miss Marshall's impressive dancing and acrobatic skills have been seen in quite an number of episodes in this series. And Michael McKean is himself a talented singer and musician. It's another outstanding performance well done by the mighty Penny Marshall.

[@SquiggyGirlForever]

Earlier in the episode Squiggy went to her (where she was rehearsing her love song in the washroom) and told her she can't sing (love songs) But her voice was good for novelty numbers. This proves it - She & Lenny sang it great - it definitely suits her voice. Look at Squiggy himself - he certainly can't sing - but he does well with various Squiggtone songs. (LOL)

[@edwardhenry3158]

Man, this show takes me back to my youth, and one of my aunts favorite shows. She was religiously in front of the television when Laverne and Shirley came home because she loved that show and a lot of times I would just stop by her house to just sit and watch it with her and we would laugh and anytime I just stumble across, KZbin and see Laverne and Shirley clip. It takes me back to that time and this clip was one of them. My aunts name was Marjorie. She had the nickname of Tootie, but I always called her aunt Laverne and she loved it. It took a while for the family to catch on why I called her Laverne, but they eventually got it then everybody started calling her Tootie Laverne. I missed that old lady. She was my godmother also

[@janettamcgee8124]

It sounds like your Aunt Tootie Laverne was a hoot! For me, it was my mother's Aunt Ruth. Long story but, in 1918, at age 13 her appendix burst and she almost died from the infection, which rendered her unable to have children. No man wanted a barren wife. She went to college to be a teacher. She became a flapper! Smoked, drank gin, wore short skirts and scandalized her family. She found a good man and settled down. As a kid in the 60's she was the favorite person of us kids. She spoiled us rotten. Climbed trees with us. Played Frisbee. Drove her 57 Chevy until she was in her 70's. Aunt Tootie and Aunt Ruth, the world was lucky to have had them.
