Alvin and the Chipmunks Knock Offs: Shirley and Squirrely

Now here's an unusual duo of chipmunk sounding voices.  Someone wanted to bring back The Nutty Squirrels (sort of).  You can read about them here: http://jldelbert.blogspot.com/2016/07/alvin-and-chipmunks-knock-offs-nutty.html

This comeback was really two new characters named Shirley and Squirrely and released their song, Hey Shirrley this is Squirrely in 1976.  In the 70's, music was awesome.  There were wonderful singers and songwriters like John Denver and Harry Chappin, piano rock legends like Elton John and Billy Joel, Disco was on the rise, and great rock music from bands such as Led Zepplin came on to the scene.  Many of these songs withstood the test of time and has big radio play value to this day.

CB Radio Music......on the other hand.............yes folks...this existed.  These country type music is basically two people (or squirrels in this case) CB'ing each other since it was the "it" thing for truck drivers everywhere.  This music out of all 70's music did not age very well.  Hearing these types of music is not easy to take seriously and sounds like Country Bear Jamboree.  Don't believe me, hear a sample: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oh66kDox4R0  (and folks....this was a top 40 hit).

The Shirley and Squirrely song is just like your typical CB Song.  All those truck driving terms are on there such as "ten four"and what makes this even weirder is that it's not just squirrels with voices sped up but it's a male and female.  Picture it if you will when hearing it.

With the success of their song, Shirley and Squirrely released a Christmas album.  This album also included another character named Melvin, bringing the total to three just like Alvin and the Chipmunks.  As CB Radio music ran its course, Shirley and Squirrely just became a memory.  Alright....no holding back...here is the song, "Hey Shirley this is Squirrely".
