Kinda nuts: Squirrel shorts out power in parts of Waltham, Watertown

By adamg on Thu, 09/22/2016 - 5:12pm

WBZ reports Eversource is blaming a squirrel that "came into contact" with some of its equipment for a power outage this morning. The power, if not the squirrel, came back in about an hour.

I think the title was "Happy Squirrel".

"I'm a happy squirrel, I live on Acorn Street." The chorus included, "And I'm all shook up!"

It ends tragically with the narrator's squirrel girlfriend getting fried on a power line.

Can't find it on YouTube. Can't remember the band name. Anyone recognize it? Where's Joanie?
