We know this much. There were no #1 songs that came from Laverne & Shirley during its run, and they blew an opportunity to release a soundtrack album back in the day.
However, the series did have among its guest stars someone who legitimately had a #1 hit. That would be Vicki Lawrence (ex-The Carol Burnett Show), who popped up a few times as Sgt. Alvina Plout, the last of which apparently was in season 6, when Sgt. Plout went AWOL due to a broken heart, and hides out with Laverne & Shirley (Penny Marshall & Cindy Williams). 8 years removed from topping the Hot 100 with "The Night The Lights Went Out in Georgia", Lawrence dons a wig to become a lounge singer, with the MP's hot on Sgt. Plout's trail.
In this segment, the girls join their former CO for a cover of Barbara George's "I Know (You Don't Want Me No More)". The YouTube poster didn't know the whole title.
There's plenty more where that came from, as there are more musical clips to be had, at least for now.
