Feeling chippy

Here’s Alvin and the Chipmunks‘ version of “Route 66” by Depeche Mode. Yech.

I suppose Alvin and the Chipmunks were amusing for five minutes or so when their “The Christmas Song” became a hit in 1958. But taking hit pop songs and simply speeding up the vocals in an attempt to amuse is just lazy. And after seeing the trailer for the Chipmunks’ latest movie, I could think of 1,000 films I’d rather see first.

Your mileage may vary.

  1. The kids seem to love it so that is all that matters. I don’t think adults get or should be getting any redeeming entertainment from it.
