Rhett and Link
Squirrel Rights
[Verse 1: Rhett, Link, Both]
I'm Doug
And I'm Darrell
And we are squirrels
We live in your backyard in a big oak tree; that's our world

[Pre-Chorus 1: Rhett, Link, Both]
We saw you and your family filming us with your flip cam
Shaking our little tails, eating crackers from your hand
We know we're irresistible, seemingly even kissable
Extremely home video-able, and effortlessly uploadable

[Bridge 1: Both]
But what makes you think that gives you the right
To make us Internet memes overnight?

[Chorus: Both]
We didn't sign a release, you didn't get our consent
To put our private lives on the public internet
We didn't sign a release

[Verse 2: Rhett, Link, Both]
You seem surprised to find we're upset
You wonder how in the world can squirrels talk
Much less have the Internet
Well you have e-mail, we have tree-mail
You have smartphones, we have pine cones
You have social networks, we have elaborate squeaks and chirps
[Pre-Chorus 2: Rhett, Link]
[squirrel noises]
He just said "you have no right to publish or distribute audio or video recordings of us including but not limited to our names, recorded mating calls, photographs or likenesses, nest location, tail length, or any material based upon it, or derived therefrom..."
[squirrel noises]
Oh yes, "in any forest..."
[squirrel noises]
"in perpetuity."

[Bridge 2: Both]
If you don't cease and desist, a suit will be filed
Especially if we end up in the next Squirrels Gone Wild

[Chorus: Both]
We didn't sign a release, you didn't get our consent
To put our private lives on the public Internet

[Outro: Both]
We didn't sign a release, you violated our trust
We don't want the world to see the secret place where we hide our nuts
We didn't sign a release
