When you have both George Dunne (Murph and the Magic Tones) and Christopher Guest (Nigel Tufnel) in your band, you know you are ready for a good time...
Cause he loved baseball. Became a minir league scout. Was one of the first people to discover Bill James, who is the founding father of modern sabremetrics.
In the 50's, the Thamesmen skiffle group hadn't even formed yet, so either it was a moonlighting gig in 1979, or Nigel's namesake cousin. I have a copy of this that is a first generation made from the original videotape, and you can clearly see that the amplifier only goes up to 10.
The drummer is studying because he needs something to fall back on!!!!! I have never seen such a funny music reference like this. Like he knows the band is going NOWHERE!

This band, Lenny and the Squigtones, is to Spinal Tap what the Yardbirds were to Led Zeppelin.
Wow. Christopher Guess was Nigel back in the day.
Shocked the heck out of me! #minegotoeleven
And this was how Spinal Tap was born
this is how the Misfits were born. Theres Jerry, Doyle, and later on they got Glenn.
How did David Lander not become a major star? He might be one of the funniest people in TV history.
Totally agree he should have gotten more opportunities. I’m surprised Guest, Scherer and Reiner didn’t use him in their other projects.

RIP David Lander, AKA Squiggy, you are missed.
RIP DAVID LANDERS.. Christopher Guest background
When this bit was done, the drummer spontaneously exploded.
Merf and the magic tones on paino.
From the blues brothers.
*Murph
R I P Dick Clark now Squiggy not be forgotten
Nigel Tufnel from Spinal Tap played for the Squigtones in 1979? I wonder what David St. Hubbins thought about that.
He thought it was a sh!t sandwich...it wasn't even mixed in Dubly.
They met through David St. Hubbin's twin brother, Lenny.
@@billstrohler Sounds plausible! :)
They mention their real names as their managers. Lol ha
Murph from "Murph and The Magic Tones" on keys.
Murphy Dunne
Love this interview! Thank you for posting it! 😄
R.I.P. David Lander aka Squiggy
How did Chuck find time to play music amidst all his law studies?
RIP Squigtones. Lenny is nothing without them.
WOW! Nigel!! Amazing
Lenny, Squiggy and Nigel TuFnel? its a genuine supergroup.
Peepers outside of Pewaukee! The is a bar on every corner
I thought Nige was from Squatney?
"No, you shouldn't know anything about it." 😅
How in the hell did they not get their own show?
NIGEL!
So did Nigel Tufnel play with Lenny and the Squigtones in the 70s (when Laverne and Shirley aired) or in the 50s (when it was set)?
🤯

The drummer is Peter Criss.
Nigel Tufnel on guitar!! ;)
Is the keyboard player from the Blues Brothers band? He looks familiar.
Thought the same thing
Murph and the Magictones will be be right back. In the meantime....don’t you go changing.
Lenny on "Better Call Saul " he makes the show, but he had a good career. And show should had been called Lenny and Squiggy
And AL Yankovitch on drums....😮
Nigel is from Swindon?
I thought he said “Swinging England”.
Peter criss on drums
Nope, it's Don Poncher. The Peter Criss thing is an urban legend.
Is that Gilda Radner and Jane Curtin as bobby soxers in the audience?
#JeffPiegari i have got it Johnny Plyon & Ikeman Breezy
/ Affirmation Webster.
A pop singing mixed group
The drummer is studying because he needs something to fall back on!!!!!

That’s Peter Criss!!!!! No one knew at the time what he looked like!
RIP, David Lander.
That's not Peter Criss on drums.
Actually it was... he went by the name Ming the merciless performed with them in 1979
@@natemcdonald8853 Don Poncher on the drums.
Is that David Kaffinetti playing the Swede piano?
The piano player's from Svweden. Isn't that Vwierd?
Is it true Swiggy doesn’t really talk like he does?
His natural voice does have a little flintiness to it, but Squiggy's voice is a big exaggeration.
No, he didn't really. He had a slightly unusual sounding voice, with a New York accent, sort of like Joe Pesci.
I loved his voice work as Smart-Ass, the lead Weasel, in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit." =)
🙏rip
Andy Kaufman on piano?
I thought so, too. Is it him? Sure looks and sounds like him.
Nigel Tufnel
This Is Spinal Tap
Does the drummer blow up later?
LOL..I was thinking that too.
Pre spinal tap ...
Laverne and Shirley would have run one maybe two seasons without these guys.
Who's on bass, not Harry Shearer?
Johnny Depp!
@@pikayell according to IMDB, it's Andy Haber
His name is Andy Haban, still plays in Nashville. Former bass player in Wilderness Road, an iconic band in the early '70s. He's also my brother!
@@markhaban5642 Thanks for the info. Congrats for having a talented brother.
A bit bizarre but funny history.
that’s Peter Criss on drums
Nope. Urban legend. Guy doesn't even look like Peter Criss.
HIs name is Andy Haban. I played with him and Murphy Dunne on the keyboards in Chicago.
Nope, but at least he didn't spontaneously combust.
