All we have to hear is, “Schlemiel! Schlimazel! Hasenpfeffer Incorporated!” and we’re instantly transported to Shotz Brewery in Milwaukee. Anyone who grew up on Laverne & Shirley can probably sing the entire theme song while envisioning the show’s opening credits. Even if you haven’t thought about it in decades, that’s one of those TV theme songs that just sticks with you. In 2018, Milwaukee natives The Violent Femmes teamed up with The Killers to perform a rock cover of the theme song live. Michael McKean, who played Leonard Kosnowski, one half of Lenny and Squiggy, on the show, found a clip of the performance on X and shared it on July 8. No surprise, it was a viral success. @thekillers and @violentfemmes perform the theme song from #LaverneAndShirley.
