Who Remembers Lenny & the Squigtones?



All I can say is:

"Babyland...by Emma Fozzdik." lol

This little hidden gem is a hilarious comedy album from the 70s, which isn't only a fun little piece of Laverne & Shirley memorabilia, but it's also the beginning of another band that Michael McKeon would play in a few years later...cuz the guitarist credited in the liner notes for Lenny & the Squigtones was none other than NIGEL TUFNEL!!! biggrin

Did anyone else have this back in the day? I just dug my vinyl copy out of my old records at my mom's house.

Lenny performed a few times on L & S. I remember a song called Standing on the Corner.

I wonder how long that was before Spinal Tap. If it's the 70's like you say, that's a number of years! Spinal Tap did have the appearance of having been together for many years.
