The Chipmunks Have you ever???

[Rallygirl]

Thank you sooooo very much! I have now spent the last few days listening to the stupid Chipmunks Sing the Beatles Hits record! After seeing it, I just had to dig it out of the basement. Both the cat & I will now have permanent hearing damage from my squeeling along with the record. LOL

P.S. Alvin, your wig is falling off.

I use to do it alot back in the day

I think we have all sped up record to have the chipmunks sing a new tune, I also liked to do it with peter pan star trek records

I used to slow down the munks 45's and 78's to 33 1/3 and then you can clearly hear Dave seville as he voices each one the only difference was his timing for thier words

Oh man, my friends and I did that all the time. It was a fun way to relieve boredom. And strangely enough, some of the instrumentals sounded better sped up.

I always thought that too that actually some of the songs sounded better sped up ......

What memories! This record is the basis for my love of the Beatles. It belonged to my dad when he was a boy. Having no idea who the Beatles were, but loving the Chipmunks, I played it over and over and over again when I was little. Finally about sixth grade, someone gave me an actual Beatles record and I have been hooked on the real Beatles ever since.

Back in the days of reel to reel tape recorders, I did the opposite. I recorded the Chipmunk record playing at standard and then slowed it down so I could hear the Chipmunks at normal speed. If I recall correctly it was two guys and a girl.

Oh heck yeah! LOL
That was fun.
I had an older player once that had a 16RPM speed on it. I've never seen a 16RPM record so not sure what it was for but if you took a 45 and played it on 16 it would slow it down really neat, too.

On the flip side of that:
I once lived in an apartment (lower flat) below this weird old guy that CONSTANTLY (I am not exaggerating) played Roy Orbison records at fast speed. OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER...the SAME song...for HOURS...LOUD.

My cousins and I did it all the time when we were kids. Loads of fun! lol

[RG]

oh man, my sister and I would always to that to my dad's country LPs ... conway twitty is so funny to hear on high speed

[ShadowAvenger]

I used to sped up my Elvis records back in the 1970s. I also used to slow down my 45 of "Hey Shirley (This Is Squirrely)" by Shirley & Squirrely for a laugh.

[kingdom warrior]

I wonder what happens if you do that with the Chipmunks?

Speed Metal!!!........

[Earth 2 Chris]

I used to do that all the time, until my parents ordered me to stop. My Dad swore it would wear out the needle faster. I'm not so sure.

I think I did that to a Chipmunks album. As I recalled it sounded REALLY strange and you couldn't even understand them.
