I thought I had the original Chipmunks Christmas album until I was twelve years old, when I discovered mum's Roger Whittaker Christmas Album tape was buggered and simply played at double speed. Gutted.
Till I was 11 I thought I was a chipmunk named Alvin and that, with my brothers Simon and Theodore, I released albums sung in an improbably cute voice. Ripped off.
Pat Benetar stole so many songs from animated rodents it's insane.
Here's a fun game to play if you don't already play it already at your parties:

Thanks.
hahaha, i used to love the chipmunks and there was this one song called 'diamond dolls' which i loved and i still dont know who the original is. i dontloaded the song the other day and been playing it in the car... i cant believe i just admitted that...
MY favoutite Chipmunks song is entitled "Ooo Eee Oo Ah Ahh"
I quote the lyrics: "I told the witchdoctor I was in love with you and he said Ooo Eee Oo Ah Ahh, bing, bang banna-fanna bing bang."
If somebody sends me the actual lyrics I will send you a present. I swearz.
-Hey Witchdoctor, give us the magic words.
-All right, you go: uh ih uh ah ah, ting tangwallawallabingbang
All right!
[Chorus]
ooh eeh ooh ahah, ting tang wallawallabingbang
ooh eeh ooh ahah, tingtang wallawallabingbang
ooh eeh ooh ahah, ting tang wallawallabingbang
ooh eeh ooh ahah, tingtang wallawallabingbang
dou dou doudou dou dou dou
[Chorus]
dou dou dou dou
I told the witchdoctor, I was in love with you
dou dou dou dou
I told the witchdoctor, I was in love with you
dou dou dou dou
And than the witchdoctor, he told me what to do
he told me:
[Chorus]
dou dou dou dou
I told the witchdoctor, you didn't love me true
dou dou dou dou
I told the witchdoctor, you didn't love me nice
dou dou dou dou
And than the witchdoctor, he gave me this advice
[Chorus]
You can keep your love from me just like you were a miser,
And I'll admit it wasn't very smart, (eyeyeyey)
But I went out to find my-self a guy that's so much wiser,
And he told me the way to win your heart:
dou dou doudou dou dou dou
ooh eeh ooh ahah,... (dou dou dou dou dou dou dou)
ooh eeh ooh ahah,... (dou dou dou dou dou dou dou)
ooh eeh ooh ahah,... (dou dou dou dou dou dou dou)
ooh eeh ooh ahah,... (dou dou dou dou dou dou dou)
ooh eeh ooh ahah, tingtang wallawallabingbang
Come on and:
[Chorus]
The best part of Chipmunk Punk is that it's got, like, three songs by The Knack who, themselves, really only ever had one song. Everything else on the album is pretty much standard classic rock stuff like Queen and Tom Petty. Theodore's skinny tie was sort of slimming, however.
I also thought "I Heard It Through The Grapvine" was originally by the California Raisins until I was probably about 14.
I think you mean "Diamond Dogs" and that's David Bowie.
