They were apparently supposed to be a priority of the early 60s girl group The Shirrelles. I just heard a song by them call Big Bird Can't Fly and I even remember some skit where BB was visiting some park and 1 of them has a kid named Richard, Little Richard she calls him and after saying his 1st word nuts, she and the rest of the group sings the song You're My Baby the same song that the adults sang when they were celebrating Miles' 1st year on SS. How long did they last?

Not rully sure how long they were on the show... I think they were on in the early-mid 90's, during the Around the Corner phase.
The group included Crystal, Darlene, and the leader Rhonda. The little squirrel baby was their nephew, named Little Richie a parody of the real singer named Little Richard.
Hope this helps.
