Okay, and JeffS too.
Just because.
UPDATE: Can't find a video online but there's actually a lead-in to the above called "The Twisted Chipmunk Song". You can hear a snippet here (scroll down). The lyrics go something like this:
"All right you chipmunks, ready to sing your new song?"
"I'll say we are. Let's get this over with.'
"Okay Squeaky?"
"Okay."
"Okay Thagadore?"
"Okay."
"Okay Melvin? Melvin?MEEEELLLLVVVVIIIIINNNNN!!!!!! "
"Relax old man. Jesus!"
Christmas chipmunks sing each year
Squeaky rodents hurt your ears
We'll sing bad till Christmas past
Hurry Christmas pass real fast
We're a pain to listen to
Been around since '62
You could hardly stand us then
Now here we come again
"Ah boys excuse me...Hold it, look you guys"
You can hardly stand to hear
Three weasels every year
"All right, you know that's not how it goes boys."
"Ah, that's how it goes now, pops"
"Lets cool it with the ad-libbing and give it one more try."
"I'm sorry, who's the artist here?"
"You know you guys could all be used in shampoo testing."
"What would you know about shampoo?
"Nice rug."
"Oh yeah, that looks real."
"I tell you Melvin, I got a friend in the research lab that would pay top dollar for a gerbil like you."
"Could he get me some Viagra?"
"You want an ear growing out of your back pal?"
"You wouldn't dare"
"Let's shake and bake man"
"You want me to let the cat in here? I'll do it. I've been wanting to do it for years"
"That's impressive"
"That goes for all of ya! That's it, I'm going to fire up the barbeque"
"Oooooh"
"Ariva derci Melvin. You little jerk"
AUUUGGGHHHHH!!!!!!! It's horrible!!!!
I mean, barbecue sauce on a chipmunk???!?!?!? Everyone knows chipmunks go better with A1 sauce.

(I have to say that clip of the chipmunk giggling and saying "that tickles" is particularly twisted. I can envision all kinds of bad situations that could be involved with.)

A radio station I used to listen to played that EVERY year and it's totally spoiled the REAL "Walking in a Winter Wonderland" for me.
But that chipmunk song IS funny.
Posted by: ricki at December 14, 2007 03:09 PMHeh. I love Bob Rivers. At that link, look up "Flu Ride" and "Who put the stump".

Posted by: Kate P at December 15, 2007 08:34 AMBy a strange coincidence, I was listening to a CD my Mom had given me a few years ago, called something like "A 1950's Christmas" and guess what was on there? Yup... the Chipmunk's Christmas song. I made it through one time. I could only compare it to the fingernails-on-a-blackboard feeling one would get from listening to Yoko sing.
There are much better songs on the CD (my fave: Bing Crosby and Carol Richard's "Silver Bells").
The strangest Xmas CD I have is the one put forth by none other than Ms Martha Stewart. I got it for, like, a buck many years ago, mostly because it had The Roches on there (remember them, Ken?). But it also has everything from The Sainted Emmy Lou Harris to the Bing Crosby-David Bowie duet to The Pretenders to Judy Garland (the only tolerable version of "I'll Be Home For Christmas", IMHO.)
Ah, nostalgia....
