No points bonus question: What is Sprots' favorite song from the 1980's?

Well, what a coincidence! That also happens to be "Squirrel Can't Help It!"


If he could be there, so close in her lap again
If she could throw him
To Casey then it would be the end, oh
She just wants to be left alone
But he'll never stop beggin...

The squirrel can't help it, he needs more
Scritches are what he's looking for
He's still standin', the screen door
He can't help it, and she runs away

And when he bugs her
She tells him that he can't be there
Under the mountains
He's wonders if she'll stroke his hair
Why does it have to be this way?
He needs to stay three states away

The squirrel can't help it, he needs more
Scritches are what he's looking for
He's still standin', the screen door
He can't help it, and she runs away

The squirrel can't help it, he needs more
Scritches are what he's looking for
He's still standin', the screen door
He can't help it, and she runs away

Ooooh, there's a fire in his eyes for you
(Stay away you mangy fuzzface!)
Oooh, that is all that she cries to you
(Help!)

Ooooh, there's a flea in his fur for you
(Get away from me!)
Oooh, she'd rather die than scritch you
(STOMP!)

Ooooh, there's desire in his heart for you
(Oooh.. a bellyrub!)
Ooooh, she's so tired of your tries to woo
(Oh nothing stands between love and you.... except this restraining order, Colorado state law, a 1500 mile electric fence, rottweiler border patrol, and my cats!)
