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

Famous Chipmunk Still Seeks Hula Hoop June 7, 2006
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
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.

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.

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.
