alvin and the chipmunks

when i was a kid, i used to rollerskate in our garage to records, specifically, all three alvin and the chipmunks records: chipmunk rock, chipmunk punk, and urban chipmunk. no comment except pretty weird. if you can picture an 8-year-old surrounded by stuffed animals and skating around a garage at night listening to alvin singing “mamas don’t let your babies grow up to be chipmunks”…well then picture it.

chipmunk rock = pre-gateway to oldies?
oldies = gateway to eternal music love? (hypothesis)
