Love them or hate them,
Alvin and the Chipmunks are
the number one kids musical
act of all time. They were
created in the 1950s by
speeding up the human voice
to make novelty records and
Alvin, Simon and Theodore
(all named after Liberty
Records executives) had a
string of hits from the
Chipmunk song to a variety
of cover records, even their
own TV show.
Fifty years later, the
Grammy Award winning little
dudes are still going strong
with an upcoming movie and
now a video game which
features their own rendition
of Elvis Presley’s
Heartbreak Hotel among 40
other songs that include
covers of REM’s Shiny Happy
People and All The Small
Things from Blink 182.
