Lenny and the Squigtones

Laverne and Shirley's annoying greaser neighbors, Lenny Kosnowski (Michael McKean) and Andrew "Squiggy" Squiggman (David L. Lander) form this two man band to play the Schotz brewery talent show in several episodes.

In the "Suds to Stardom" episode (first aired 11 May 1976), they sing "Starcrossed," and "I Believe." The boys also sing "The Jolliest Fat Man" at a mental hospital show in the Christmas episode "Christmas at the Booby Hatch" (21 Nov. 1976), but I'm not sure if it was as Lenny and the Squigtones. In the "The Second Almost Annual Shotz Talent Show" episode (31 Jan. 1978) they perform "Night after Night." In the "The Third Annual Shotz Talent Show" episode (30 January 1979) they perform "Just a Couple of Lover Boys." In the "The 4th Annual Shotz Talent Show" episode (6 Dec. 1979) they sing "If Only I'd Have Listened To Mama."

They also released a 1979 live album on Casablanca, Lenny and Squiggy present Lenny and the Squigtones. Apparently Christopher Guest's guitar playing is credited under the name "Nigel Tufnel." Michael McKean and David L. Lander wrote many of the above songs, and the ones on the album. Even more interestingly, it appears Lenny and the Squigtones appeared on American Bandstand, (9 July 1979) singing "King of the Cars."
