California Squirrels

Hammy falls asleep while watching MTV …

To the tune of California Gurls*1 by Katy Perry and featuring Snoop Dogg.

Greetings loved ones
Let’s take a journey

I know a place
Where the grass is really greener
Warm, wet and wild
There must be something in the water

Sippin’ berry juice
Laying underneath the palm trees (chillin’)
The coons
On the move
Trying to surf the mighty waves (all day)

You could travel the world
But nothing comes close
to the golden coast
Once you party with us
You’ll be falling in love
Oooooh Oh Oooooh

California squirrels
We’re unforgettable
Shirley Temples
Umbrellas on top
Sun-kissed fur
So hot
We’ll melt your popsicle
Oooooh Oh Oooooh

California squirrels
We’re undeniable
Fine, fresh, furry
We got it on lock
West coast represent
Now put your hands up
Oooooh Oh Oooooh

Fun on the beach
We got sand in our palmettos
We freak
In my jeep
Snoop Coony Coon on the stereo (oh oh)

You could travel the world
But nothing comes close
to the golden coast
Once you party with us
You’ll be falling in love
Oooooh Oh Oooooh

California squirrels
We’re unforgettable
Shirley Temples
Umbrellas on top
Sun-kissed fur
So hot
We’ll melt your popsicle
Oooooh Oh Oooooh

California squirrels
We’re undeniable
Fine, fresh, furry
We got it on lock
West coast represent
Now put your hands up
Oooooh Oh Oooooh

Toned, Tanned
Fit and ready
Turn it up cause its gettin’ heavy
Wild, wild west coast
These are the squirrels I love the most

I mean the ones
I mean like they’re the ones
Don’t diss ’em
Or parti pris ’em
They’re lots of fun

The squirrels are freaks
They form their own cliques
The coons on the beach
They’re okay
They won’t play
They love the Bay
Just like they love LA
Venice beach
and Palm Springs
Summer time is everything

Homeboys
Hangin’ out
All that fur
Hanging out
Zucchinis, tankinis, martinis
No weenies
Just a king
and a queen-ie

Hammy, gone glam-ie
(yeah)
now look at ’em, Vern-ie
(uh huh)
We’re all up on ’em
Cause they representin’ California too
(ohhh yeah)

California squirrels
We’re unforgettable
Shirley Temples
Umbrellas on top
Sun-kissed fur
So hot
We’ll melt your popsicle
Oooooh Oh Oooooh

California squirrels
We’re undeniable
Fine, fresh, furry
We got it on lock
West coast represent
Now put your hands up
Oooooh Oh Oooooh
(California, California)

California squirrels
I wish they all could be
California squirrels
(California)
I really wish
You all could be
California squirrels
(California, squirrels*2)

Only One More Week. Give Dave Your Support!

On July 6, 2009, Dave Carroll shared his story with the world about how United Airlines carelessly smashed his guitar on March 31, 2008, when he was on the way to a week-long tour of Nebraska, and how United refused to accept any responsibility or fix it. (Full story.) As you may recall, his story, first expressed in a music video on YouTube, was an overnight sensation that quickly received over Three Million views in the first week. It was such a sensation that it even inspired the Harvard Business Review to do a case study on how viral videos spread and what firms can do about them.

 

To date, the trilogy has garnered over 9,942,000 views!

United Breaks Guitars Views (June 29, 2010)
Song 1  8,733,989
Song 2  1,036,185
Song 3  172,070
TOTAL  9,942,244

 

Since the first video was released on July 6, 2009, this means that we’re only one week away from the one year anniversary! It’s time to step up and thank Dave by ensuring that his fantastic efforts receive the Ten Million Hits they deserve before the anniversary is reached … because the airlines, as a whole, still haven’t gotten the message. United Breaks Guitars, Northwest Breaks Dulcimers, and now Delta Smashes Bicycles, proving that they just don’t care whether or not you TriAndGiveaDam or whether or not the children in Africa have water.
