back in the 1977-81 era, lenny was considered rather large - - hence the many fat jokes at his expense during the show's run. but by today's standards in the u.s., he seems more like the average.
Just saying its based on a Jewish boy during world war 2 who is in a German prison camp and he doesnt understand that he is a prisoner but that he is at a camp
noticed something: When Screamin is doing the part with Lennie it looks like he has a whistle around his neck, but when he is doing the part with Johnny, there appears to be no whistle.
IF you love SNN as I do you can go to their official website and under LINKS at the bottom is a link to Sha Na Na Fan Pages by Cheryl and then on her site there is a link saying "HELP GET THE SHA NA NA VARIETY SHOW ON DVD!"
Hey! When he held up the picture of Betty Grable he kissed her right on the butt!
Anyhoo, very enjoyable sketch. The guys could not only sing and dance but were really good with comedy and all very appealing. (And they do look good in those shorts.)
Hmmm . . . so Johnny made a "comeback" after he "died." Just like on "Dallas!"
Johnny Contardo Is "Cute" In This Sketch, Then They "Kill" His Part In This Sketch, Then After A Short "Death", He's In The End Of The Sketch, "Weird", Still Great Sketch!!
Anyone ever seen "Bowzer" with his group? Some of those guys have the greatest voices...played in Milwaukee and Madison(WI) for different benefits. What a show! Just as good as Sha Na Na ever was.
I remember LOVING this skit, but now I keep catching myself looking at their legs! Thanks to faerydancer and you tube, I seem to have a new found appreciation for the "booty shorts" they're wearing that I didn't have when I was little and watched this on TV!
I just can't get enough of it!!! Do you have any more skits like the Alley OOP skit plus The Birds and The Bees Skit? If so, could you please put them up!!! Thanks!!!
I do have more. I'll get them up as quick as I can. If you're not already subscribed to my videos, go ahead and do so. That way, you'll know when new videos are added! Thanks so much for watching!
Not only does Johnny have an awesome voice, yes, he can top the Everly Brothers and Simon/Garfunkel. Listen to his solo albums Changeover and Ballads for Lovers, then judge for yourself.
Gotta tell ya-for someone who actually sings pretty well, it's very hard to sound bad. I give Johnny a lot of credit. And yes, he does have nice legs.
He he he he can't stop laugh so funny love he he
