A Chipmunk Christmas

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Before there was Hanson, there was Alvin, Simon, and Theodore, three "Chipmunks" who sang with prepubescent glee about the world around them. While it was really nothing more than an electronic manipulation experiment, the Chipmunks caught the exact balance between novelty and influence. These 11 tracks capture their fun-loving vibe through some upbeat originals and classic Christmas fare. "The Chipmunk Song" and "Crashcup's Christmas" are their own personal touch, while "Deck the Halls" and "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" are exactly the type of swinging holiday carols made for the little person in all of us. --Rob O'Connor --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

Famous Chipmunk Still Seeks Hula Hoop .......2006-06-08

ASNELLES-SUR-MER, France - Entertainer Alvin Chipmunk released a statement to the French press today indicating that he still strongly desires a hula hoop. In the past, Chipmunk has denied the statement by former manager, Dave David, that he was supplied a hula hoop in 1967 after demanding one in the form of a song, "The Chipmunk Song," which became a popular hit with children and teenagers.

Relations between Chipmunk and David became strained in the early 1970s after a bitter accounting dispute that could not account for the purchase of a hula hoop. The dispute involved an estimated $130,000 in litigation, and ultimately resulted in David's dismissal as manager of the Chipmunk band. In the 1980s, the situation worsened when bandmates Simon and Theodore Chipmunk (no relation) left the group to pursue solo interests. Fans clamored for a Chipmunks reunion until 1996, when Simon Chipmunk was found dead in a Las Vegas hotel due to a cocaine overdose. Controversy ensued when Alvin reunited with Theodore to record a song with a vault recording of Simon in 2002 for a single song recorded for Space Jams 3, an animated film. The song was, however, a critical failure and financial disappointment, rising to only #113 on the Adult Contemporary charts. In 2003, Chipmunk relocated to France and has refused all contact from fans or the press.

In a statement on his web-blog, Theodore Chipmunk stated, "I am sorry to see that Alvin still wants a hula hoop. I sincerely wish that the Chipmunks, as a group, could have moved past the whole issue. I am reasonably certain that Alvin received a hula hoop in 1967 as Mr. Davis claims, but those years are rather hazy. Regardless, I wish both Alvin and Dave all the best."

Dave Davis could not be reached for comment.

We Have Always Loved the Chipmunks.......2003-11-26

My daughters began listening to the Chipmunks when they were little girls. They are now 20 and we still consider that the official start of the Christmas holiday is when we watch or listen to Chipmunk Christmas.

it's not christmas without the chipmunks!.......2001-12-17

when i was a little girl, my gramma had this story on record. i would listen to it every day in december cuz it seemed to make christmas more christmasy. this cd goes along exactly like the cartoon that came on tv at christmastime every year when i was a kid. it tells the story of how alvin gives his harmonica away to a very sick little boy so maybe he'll get better. when alvin finds out that he has to play said harmonica at carnegie hall he devises many different ways to make money to buy a new one. in the end everything works out, he gets a special present at the mall and is surprised at carnegie hall by a duet with a special guest. yr whole family will love this cd even if they've never heard of the chipmunks. to me, it just isn't christmas without this cd. i recommend it to anyone who grew up with the chipmunks or who's just now discovering who they are. it's a great cd that yr family will enjoy for many christmases to come.

So what do Celine Dion, Kenny G, and Patty Loveless all have in common? They all team up with Alvin and the Chipmunks for this collection of oh-so-cute Christmas classics. Kenny G's nasally woodwinds are a perfect complement to the Chipmunks sound, and the reworking of their "Chipmunk Song" seems almost new because of it. Celine teaches the critters a lesson in French with "Petit Papa Noel," while Patty Loveless puts some twang in the Chipmunks' furry hides with "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree." There are more, ahem, "artistic" moments here with the woodland heroes hooking up The Boys Choir of Harlem for "Christmas Time Uptown." And through some studio magic, Gene Autry appears with the Chipmunks for a sing-along of his classic "Rudolph." Adults will probably get more than one laugh out of this if the kids don't drive them crazy with it first. --Steve Gdula

I and my child love this cd.......2001-12-07

This is the second copy of this cd I bought, My other one was played so much that it got scratched. I wish they had a video to go with it. I love the track with Alvin being a mennance. on the little drummer boy. I tried to order it again 2 years ago and it was out of print. so I was really excited when they re-released it. It is enjoyable for adults and children.

Going to more of an adult sound. LOSE THE CRAPPY DIALOGUE!.......2001-05-27

This would have made for a wonderful CD that kids and Adults could enjoy together, but some of the songs are realy stupid.. A comes before B, and the terrible verson of The little Drummer Boy really drag down the CD.

Alvin sounds like a bratty kid who seems to think that if Santa doesn't get to him first, then he will not come at all. The little Drummer Boy shows Alvin being way out of control dring some concert. If these songs were ment to be funny, I must not have caught the joke...

Liked... Here Comes Christmas, Petite Papa Noel, The Chipmunk Song, I don't want to be Alone for Christmas, and Rudolph The Red Nosed Raindeer... Other then the 2 stinkers on the CD.. It could have been better without the 2 songs mentioned...

Chipmunkmania it never stops going.......2000-10-01

Christmas , what a great season, and what great memories are rememebred whenever i play this cd of The Chipmunks, allthough i still wanna know just when is Alvin going to get that hula hoop, after all its been a long time, anyway along with all of these famous people singin along with them they do christmas music with style naturally ,as only Alvin and the CHipmunks can do it , its really a great cd especially because its from them to us- Mark Williams(still listenin after 37 years)
