Fairly impressed with my son's musical observation skills. He heard this song from his children's songbook and said "This is a Christmas song!"
He not only noticed that the melody is very similar to the traditional English carol Tomorrow Shall Be My Dancing Day, but the only place I know of that he could have heard that song is on a CD that we had playing in the background at my parents' house on Christmas. He's probably only heard it once.
I wonder how it ended up as a children's song about squirrels attributed to a Finnish composer. Just coincidence or is there a link? ๐ค
