The guy who did the Chip Monks was named David Seville and he had 
some other hits where he sang in his normal, not speeded up 
voice.  Heck, nowadays, you could accomplish that speeded up 
quality using a simple program like Studio Recorder.  Merry 
Christmas all.  Jim WA6EKS

Good way of putting it, Howard.

I still remember when I was a kid, and one day, I played a 
Chipmunks
Christmas song from a 45 RPM record at 33 RPM, and suddenly 
figured out that
the Chipmunks were really men whose voices were just sped up to 
play the
part.

I don't know how many kids I told that to, after it was 
discovered, but to
this day, I sometimes feel a bit guilty about how many children's 
ilusions I
shattered.  (smile)

Yes it is.  Silly engineers.
Its like an old record player.  Remember playing the 33's on 45, 
or say even
earlier, the 45's on 78?
