Lenny and the Squigtones - StarCrossed

[@Caledoniarose]

Always looked forward to the Shotz talent show just to hear Lenny & the Squigtone! This is my favorite tune they do! Rest in Peace David Lander. Thanks for all the Lenny & Squiggy magic!

[@thathawaiiandude787]

Me too…loved them. But, my favorite is “Night After Night”. As Squigtone mentioned in his introduction of the song…..”…it’s about two nights in a row…”🤣😂🤭 I was about in Junior High when I saw it….and, my siblings and I all of a sudden had that uncontrollable laughter from the beginning until a few hours after the show when we’d sing a part of the song or say “….it’s about two nights in a row”, and start rolling in laughter for a few minutes all over again. Miss those shows back then.

The clarinet solo really made it for me

[@ljc3484]

Reminds me of the solo on Angel Baby, also squeaky 😂

[@michaelgrantham1871]

Those two were such under rated comedic geniuses.

[@starfieldofviolet]

As an 8-year old, I LIVED for the musical sketches on this show! No wonder I grew up to be a songwriter AND a comedienne! 😁❤

[@selfan4evr]

It wouldn't have been the same show without these guys! They were hilarious!

"Her mother's a drunk, her fahda's a punk"! Still as hillarious as when I first saw it on the show all those years ago. There was only one David L. Lander! RIP

[@vintagehippie3647]

They must be excellent singers to stay in character and sing melody. Love them

[@sweetsueohio2]

Did Michael MaKean really play guitar?

[@frejaw3]

@@sweetsueohio2 The chords are correct, so I think it's him playing

[@uzi978]

@@sweetsueohio2 I hope so, he created Spinal Tap. :D

[@jdstep97]

Vintage Hippie - And you know it. If they would be serious, they could probably be heart throbs, as weird as that sounds. But they just sound so good being goofy (minus Squiggy's clarinet playing, of course). Imagine if they were not goofy.

[@frejaw3]

@@jdstep97Recently, I've found photos from 'Lenny and the Squigtones' tour. Michael McKean with his hair down was an eye candy 👀

[@tejaswoman]

Harmonies truly are gorgeous.

[@loringbush1455]

Now this is old-school rock and roll! These two are absolutely amazing together!

[@cindysowers199]

RIP David Landers aka Squiggy

[@sahilprashar567]

that was an amazing performance..this is the birth of spinal tap

[@michaelraiger623]

Yes the birth of Spinal Tap indeed. Michael McKesn who played Lenny was David St Hubins of Spinal Tap. And Penny Marshall who played Laverne was the wife of Rob Reiner who was the director of the Spinal Tap “rockumentary.”

[@sahilprashar567]

@@michaelraiger623 I didn't know penny

[@gopmomof2]

I'm glad David Landers knew he was still loved by his fans when he passed after suffering from MS. "And I'm the Squigtone." So hilarious! They were comedy gold.❤❤❤

[@EUMAN1]

Comedic genius!!!!! Cheech and Chong, Abbott and Costello, Hope and Crosby, et al., McKean and Lander should be ranked right up in there! THANKS for all the laughs and memories.

[@Juliaflo]

Don't forget Laurel and Hardy, without whom the aforementioned would not have come into existence. Have a good life.

[@michellebutler6507]

Those two guys made the whole show hilarious 😁😁

[@lynn1464]

They sure did.

[@geester2123]

Came here after watching Michael McKean on Better Call Saul. This guy is incredible.

[@craig98shari]

Thanks for posting this unforgetable Laverne and Shirley clip. It was one of my favorites. Squiggy and Lenny were a great comedy team. They played so well off of each other. Nothing like them since. Cheers, Shari

[@LadyDayK87]

She just don't belong in my social set 😄😁

[@vsanchez7158]

This was my favorite Lenny and Squiggy song!

[@darkness904]

OMG when he turned around and picked up that clarinet....LOL My friend and I used to crack up about the lollipops and caviar line. Oh to be 12 again!

[@DonaldHolben]

Lol best part!

[@colinwilliams553]

That's the VERY best part of the song.I crack up when he sings that part plus, he kills it with that piccalo "solo" at the end.

R.I.P. Squiggy.

[@Doowopsid]

Haven't watched this in a long time but was just thinking about it and had to watch it. So thankful for KZbin and the person who posted this. One of my favorite memories of these guys and such a fun show to watch back in the day.

[@ricardopez839]

I live on the north-side, she lives on the west The west is the worst side, the north is the best Her mudda's a drunk, her fadda's a punk But I know (yes I know) that our love (yes I know) could be real.. But we're star-crossed We're like Romeo & Juliet Star-crossed, she just dont belong in my social set But I know (Yes I know) That someday (someday) The Lord will look our way and we'll be free wooaaaah We meet in the shadows and wish on a star We kiss in a phone booth or under a car Our friends put us down, they say we're a clown! But it hurts (Yes it hurts) Yes it hurts (Yes it hurts!) in my heart And we're star-crossed We're like lollipops and caviar Star-crossed... So we'll drive up to the resevoir Even though (though) its a sin (sin) We'll throw each other in and we'll be free wooaaaah (Play it warm and mellow Squig) *Clarinet solo*

[@MoiNokaOi]

I love these two muppets!

[@JustaSideOrderOfLove]

I'd love to see one of my rockabilly friends to perform this!!!! 😊💜🎶

[@MPzzy26]

Great Upload...i loved watching all these classic shows on Nick at Nite in the late 90s

[@29k9cop]

Awesome!!!!

[@heidimountain606]

Rest in peace David Lander.

[@FrankIsAlwaysRight]

This is right up there with other great musical performances like the wonderful, Up With People! I am also reminded of the wonderful vocalist from American Idol, William Hung.

[@loveandpeace9908]

They were the best! Hilarious!

[@debrareplogle651]

Always loved Lenny and squigy😂😂😂😂

[@Rahim.ali80]

I thought they had a mega hit with 'Night after Night' boy was I wrong this is an instant classic this song shows their versatile with their vocals m lyrics. I'm willing to bet two dollars n twenty nine cents that they will come in 1st place at that talent show n if they dont knock'em dead those judges is most likely dumb deaf blind n mo'deaf.

[@Maldoror200]

💀..Damn..,TRULY Beautiful..❤️‍🔥🎸💔

[@everennui1]

Thanks Fran Balnche on KZbin for bringing attention to David Lander's death. That sucks. I'm glad I've been listening to a bunch of these tunes for the last 20 minutes though.

Opening Notes reminiscent of "Sleep Walk" by Santo and Johnny plus Max on bass and an uncredited guy on Piano.B.W.

[@ericcharrison855]

Best.

[@NuncNuncNuncNunc]

On "live" music shows it was/is common for bands to mime to playback track. The one thing to look for was instruments having no cables. McKean has a cable and is fingering appropriately which makes me think that they are actually playing live to the studio audience.

[@sum12see]

They were a great duo...

Little did the world know that after leaving the squigtones Lenny would develope a British accent and form a band called Spinal Tap. They had 2 hits in the 60s " gimmie some money " & " flower people "

[@jamesmichalek5406]

Why they hired Eddie Mekka and Betty Garrett when they already had Lenny and the Squigtones is a mystery that rivals the Judge Crater disappearance.

[@kathrynmolesa1641]

We need more clarinet.

[@breech123]

Lenny could be Johnny Knoxville's pa. But seriously, is that a Les Paul guitar?
