Don’t forget, a lot of the public has the kind of taste that this will appeal to. Sigh.
(And yes, I’m old enough to remember at least one of those three releases—vaguely, I’m happy to say. (It’s been many years since I listened to the kind of station that would play that. I haven’t heard it since high school in the 1960s.))
(I should add: when I was in upper elementary (which was contemporary with this song!), three guys in my class performed lip-synching the Chipmunks’ records. (They performed, among other places, in school assemblies.)

Now I know they’re much older than the cartoon I used to watch when I was a kid.

I was probably cursed at birth.
What am I supposed to do with this information? How am I going to start a conversation about Alvin and the Chipmunks 35 years too late?
