Man, those chipmunks could sing!

I mean, Alvin and the boys rocked!
 
The Chipmunks had a hula hoop in their act??? Damn I missed that episode....

Did you see Alvin And The Chipmunks: Behind The Music on VH1?


Those later years were pretty sad. Especially for Theodore. I have to admit I cried a little.

It was sad, especially finding out that they didn't really sing their music and lip synced their whole career. And when they told about Simon killing himself...


No, wait, that was Milli Vanilli.

Nevermind.
 
OMG! I missed all of this???? Where have I been??? I think on Mars *grin*...sorry, couldn't resist that one Ambros...
 
Ambrosious

They were just so talented, but they refused to change with the times. They really were never allowed to grow as artists.



I blame disco.
 
phew...Simon killed himself??? What happened to Theodore??? Where's Alvin???
 
I have an original Chipmunks LP around somewhere, doing 'Stones covers and stuff. Came out in the 70s I think.

I think that was the beginning of the end for the Chipmunks. Theodore used to write all their songs, but with that album they shifted away from their own stuff to doing those bland remakes.
It clearly broke Theodore's spirit. That's why he turned to the needle. To fill the emptiness in his creative soul.
 
That ego-maniac Alvin, always had top bill

It wasn't just the music though, Theodore's on and off love affair with manager Dave Seville seems to be at the core of the band's biggest problems.

Gotta give him credit though, he never did have his buck-teeth removed amidst the heavy pressure. Having their signature sound palagerized by the BeeGee's didn't help either.

I cried.
 
If Ambrosious is indeed a male... I am coming over...

That is my all time favorite cartoon... I'm not kidding... I am the biggest chipmunk freak ever...

They were even my wallpaper for awhile...
