The Chipmunks
The cartoon series that most of us will remember ran from 1983 until 1990 and was a US production. The popular 80’s cartoon “Alvin and the Chipmunks” – featured the Chipmunks as a band with Alvin as the popular, good-looking one, Simon as the intellectual and Theodore as the cute baby-faced brother. Dave was their animation father/manager and they sang for very little purpose thoughout the decade. There was a film made about “the boys” in 2007, but I thought the animation was rather eery and I was far too old to watch something like that at the cinema. The Chipmunks actually began as a series of songs released by their creator in the fifties and sixties -winning the makers Grammies for their engineering efforts. Here’s their best-known intro.
Lyrics for “The Chipmunks”
Watch out cause here we come!
It’s been a while but we’re back with style,
So get set to have some fun!
We’ll bring you action and satisfaction!
We’re the chipmunks!
C-H-I-P-M-U-N-K,
We’re the chipmunks!
Guaranteed to brighten your day!
When you feel like a laugh!
Give us a call we’ll give you a roll,
And if you feel like a song!
Tune in to us and sing right along!
We’re the chipmunks!
Coming on stronger than ever before,
We’re the chipmunks,
Alvin, Simon, Theodore!
Doo-doo-do-do-do-do!
Doo-doo-do-do-do-do!
