- come on a my house, I've got a copy from the Ursadelica album by Nasty tales and their Orchestra. Love the tune, love your version too :D
  I doubt that is the original though. *googles*
  apparently the original was by Rosemary Clooney written by Ross Bagdasarian

- jiva, send a link of their performance, so I can see if it's the same tune--if so, you'll get a prize!
  No, they aren't the original.

- Lol Ooola! Yeah, it's a bit hypnotic and frenetic. It stays with you--in your head, in your head. Prize is on its way--Alvin and Chipmunks is correct.

- Ross Baqgdasarian was the voice of each of the chipmunks (Simon, Theodore and that impish rascal Alvin) on the first recording "The Chipmunk Song" where they sing about Christmas and how hard it is to wait for it. This was way back in 1958. He experimented with variable speeds on a tape recorder to get their high-pitched squeaky voices.

- I can't believe that I am the first person to mention this but when Axa made the post I thought that they used the song in question in the parody to infer their own Glitch house was like Hugh Hefner's Playboy mansion. The nasty tales version of the song was VERY famously used in the TV show Girls Next Door/Girls of the Playboy Mansion. Naturally I only know this from flicking channels during the ad breaks while watching Little House on the Prairie [cough] ;)
