       @clive Ross Bagdasarian, Jr. (aka "David Seville") was a kind of genius in his own right, all starting with "Witch Doctor" (and the B side, "Bird On My Head") using the technique, even performing the former on the Ed Sullivan show -- all before the Chipmunks existed.

       @swelljoe Yep! Several folks made a comparison in the in-line comments on the SoundCloud tracksVery true: these would’ve been crack studio musicians. When you slow down a vocal line that much and they’re still perfectly in pitch, you know that’s really good singing

       @clive apparently when they originally produced these they sang the song at a slower speed and then played that back faster during production. You can tell for the 16-speed version.It's awesome.

       @clive i once recorded the Alvin cartoon audio at double speed on a tape deck, played it back at normal speed, and found out the guy who voices Dave also does the chipmunks but the audio is played at a different speed for each chipmunk.

       @clive it bothers me that they said "Jesse's got himself a squirrel and I want to make her mine" but then they didn't follow through with it. The chorus should have been "I wish that I had Jesse's squirrel / Where can I find a rodent like that?"

       @cliveAs a fan of Dave Seville, all I'm hearing is Dave Seville singing slowly, which was the entire trick he used to make these.  That's why he's considered to be one of the pioneers, if not the creator, of electronic music.

       @clive Was the original LP called "Chipmunk Punk?" because my then girlfriend (now my wife of 42 years) had the vinyl LP. It was a good chuckle then even at 33 & 1/3 rpm. I know it had "Refugee," "Good Girls Don't" and "Call Me."Now after Christmas I'll have to dig in the basement to locate it.

       @clive this was a big thing a couple of years ago in youtube. The comments were nearly a peculiar as the project itself. My personal favourite is walk like an Egyptian. Thanks for reminding me of it.

       @clive That "Refugee" cover basically sums up the aesthetic of the band I've spent fifteen years failing to start.(It may also explain why I've been unable to entice anyone into the project, but hey, you gotta stick to your thing.)

       @clive one of my family friends sang on the original album. His story is hilarious, apparently in addition to singing extremely slowly, they had to enunciate the words very clearly. Otherwise you couldn’t understand it at speed. And the studio wall was a giant mirror, so they had to stop and re-record a few times because they were laughing at themselves in the mirror.

Idk why this album was part of my childhood, because it apparently came out before I was born, but I have a clear memory of singing along to "Jesse's Squirrel" with my brother on the air guitar in his pijamas. This recording is gonna haunt me for years; I can tell. šŸ˜†šŸ‘»

       @clive Spectacular. When I was a kid, we discovered that by using the dimmer switch, we could record Chipmunks-esque speeded-up tapes. I have a couple dimmer switches here. Hmmm.Also, this reminds me of the first time I ever heard Bauhaus. I was tripping balls with a couple friends in our temporarily sober friend's dorm room, and she started playing "Bela Lugosi's Dead" on a tape player whose batteries were dying. I had no idea if that was just what the music sounded like or if it was the acid. And that's what this is very much like.
