The Nutty Squirrels - 'Uh! Oh!' - Parts 1 & 2 - 1959 45rpm

[@Gozyugerblack]

This song is stuck in my head every time I play this song

[@Lavender.greysky]

This was my favorite song when I was 6!! I remember this so well and remember all the lyrics!! I had this very Hanover disc 45. I may still have it!! Thanks for this joyful and nostalgic memory!! I played this NON STOP!!

[@barbnahoumi65]

The Nutty Squirrels were a jazzy takeoff of the Chipmunks.

[@slfs747]

OMG....This song would drive my mom crazy. We could not stop playing it😎

[@cessaly100]

Ooooh my GOODNESS! Me neither! Mommy & me! 1960’s.

[@Ma1nguy]

My younger brother couldn't stand it but I played it just to annoy him

[@Ronnieoc]

Hokey shit!!! I found this song finally. My dad had this record when I was just a kid. . Me and my brother and sister have been trying to find the name of the song and who sang it for years now. The search is finally over. I’ll have to post this on my sisters Facebook page, RIP Sis.

[@robertszymanski717]

Back in the good old days I heard this song many times on the Doctor Demento show! 1971- 1988...

[@richardweaver9682]

Nov. 2021 found this on the official Dr. Demento facebook page.

[@olderendirt]

Me, too! Loved Dr. D!

[@cduby1424]

When I was young me and brother used to play the record on 33 r.pm. and laugh our heads off.

[@lamarp3355]

I think this is easily the best novelty tune of the generation.

[@marmitenot.]

This is kind of hypnotizing. Love it!

[@KPVIDEONEWS]

The " Barney " of the 60s.... LMAO 🤣 🤣 🤣

[@11carbuff19572011]

I first found this track reviewed in an old original back issues of the TVTimes from 1960 via DVD-ROM format, and I also got it on the Come On Let's Go double CD of the Pye International Story 1959-61 just a mere 5 years ago. I had no idea of this or any of the other tracks of the double CD either, and I.don't think it was ever played on UK radio too frequently within the last 50 years.

[@iob1shrine169]

just can't stop listening to this.. .

[@ChristinaH111]

I just discovered this song, thanks to the City Fiber advert.

[@bossradio930]

SiriusXM (50s On 5)! Thought I heard ‘em all, but not quite. I don’t recall on KRLA-AM (Pasadena, CA) or other terrestrial radio stations playing this rare gem. Maybe the did, but not aware. Probably KFXM (98.3) Lancaster, CA another possibility. Thank you, SiriusXM 50s On 5 and Jukebox Saturday Night!

[@marmitenot.]

I first heard this a few days ago on 50's on 5. I LOVE IT!

[@ViperJay5]

@@marmitenot. I did too! But I never hear Part 1, just Part 2 for some reason.

[@marmitenot.]

@@ViperJay5 It's addictive!

[@loumontcalm3500]

Think KFWB did... part 2. KRLA went top 40 in 1960

[@BaronVonShrapnel]

Rebroadcast of a 1984 Casey Kasem AT40 is where I first heard this

[@stormwatcher1299]

Same!

[@WillTube1990]

After hearing this on the Come On Let's Go: The Pye International Story 1958-1961 double CD that I bought last year, I now today bought a copy of this very record for £5. In original Pye International sleeve and condition is not bad at all. (It's rather shiny!)

[@nomadcowatbk]

who'd win in a fight between the squirrels and the chipmunks?

[@getinthegrooveradio]

love it!

[@peteremmert8551]

This duo later appeared on a Columbia US LP titled "Bird Watching" - It's interesting to note that the original US issue was released on Hanover Records US, a Steve Allen (yes, THAT Steve Allen)-owned company (along with the Signature US Record label at that time).

[@Ma1nguy]

Gosh I was in junior high school when this came out i think it was 1960 or 61?

[@Azishome]

1959

[@nssteampunk4865]

Dr. Demento show bought me here. XD LOL

[@webermetal1]

Best when played at 75 rpm.

[@cduby1424]

78 you couldn't understand it 45 was normal 33 me and my brother would laugh our heads off at the end when they laughed part 2 16 rpm. Was just too slow.

[@davidlee3950]

3:18 lmao

[@FishinChickin]

Wasn't this covered by some jazz vocal group? I think Bob Fass used to play it. Anybody know who?

[@Zampiz]

New York sleep-away camp summer of 1959

[@singinjohnny]

It actually is better as far as I'm concerned.

[@HolyMarkMcGrath]

Creepiest novelty song ever!

[@Kiddman32]

This one actually sounds Count Basie-ish... Sorta :)

[@rand0mness507]

i wonder if alvin and the chipmunks are based off of this band

[@sonicextremities9570]

this band was created to capitalize on the popularity of the chipmunks

[@keithkirk8697]

I actually heard this on AM radio in the 50s, right after the Chipmunks' Christmas song was a big hit. This did not crack the top 40 for some reason.

[@Cokepencilpsd]

sounds better at 1.5 speed

[@Gozyugerblack]

Thank you about the speed

[@SoUtHMeMpHis]

Or 0.75x , it's according to your mellow mood🤔

Nutty ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

[@iob1shrine169]

can some skilled dj please sample & remix the shit out of this...

[@timekeeper46]

Just thinking the same thing. It would be an awesome jam instrumental without the shitty "squirrels".

[@iob1shrine169]

I agree, would be, could be, fat. However there is something about the insanity sound of the shitty squirrels that doesn't totally vex me. It could be a wild drop interrupting some hardcore. or mixed into a good breakbeat set. but the point you are making is still valid.
