The Onion A.V. Club, in its battle of the cartoon bands, says that Alvin and the Chipmunks lose to the Nutty Squirrels. Who are the Nutty Squirrels, and how is there any possibility that they're one-tenth as cool as Alvin and the Chipmunks? Has the Onion ever heard the song where the Chipmunks visit Japan and look for bananas? Shouldn't I be listening to that song right now? I realize this is a public library, but still.
