David Cassel of 10 Zen Monkeys emailed me today to tell me that more slowed down songs of The Chipmunks have been discovered.
I saw a link to your article about the slowed-down Chipmunk Christmas mashup, and thought you'd appreciate this story. Apparently "Alvin & the Chipmunks" career included dark detours.
Thanks for the heads up, David! Let me add my opinion that The Chipmunks career, at the moment, still qualifies as a "dark detour". Rumour has it that a computer-rendered/live action movie is in the works. Such a setup has never worked save for Who Killed Roger Rabbit when much of the success owed itself to the sheer novelty factor.
As for the songs, we have David Seville's (a.k.a. Ross Bagdadsarian) voice triple-tracked, first at regular speed, then slowed down. Here's another one of him performing as all three Chipmunks. Finally, we also have the scat-singing imitation Nutty Squirrels. If you slow the song down, you can hear the distinct voice of jazzman Don Elliot.
