branched out into music, but that is the opposite of how they began. After first being brought to life in Bagdasarian's 1950s novelty recordings under the name David Seville and the Chipmunks, the characters were an unprecedented success, and the singing Chipmunks and their manager were given life in several animated cartoon series and motion pictures.
The voices of the group were all performed by Bagdasarian, who sped up the playback to create the higher pitched, squeaky voices. This process was not entirely new; Bagdasarian had also used it for a previous novelty song project, "The Witch Doctor", but it was so unusual and well executed it earned the "trio" two Grammy Awards for engineering. Although the characters were fictional, they did release a long line of "real" albums and singles, with "The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late)" becoming a number-one hit single in the United States. After his death in 1972, the voices of the Chipmunks were subsequently recorded by his son, Ross Bagdasarian, Jr., and his wife, Janice Karman, in all subsequent incarnations to date.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We got that hot one from the chipmunks, come on
Ain't no party like a chipmunk party
'Cause the chipmunk party don't stop
It's just me and my boys, sure to bring the noise
You know that we make it hot
They make it hot, hot
They make it hot, hot
They make it hot, hot
Step inside the party, y'all know our name
Paparazzi outside, glad we came
Gotta take some photos with a couple of fans
If you don't show love, they will be in the stands
Back to the dance flow, getting it poppin'
Bodies are moving and heads are boppin'
All looks back and we turned it out
'Cause you know what the chipmunks are all about
Ain't no party like a chipmunk party
'Cause the chipmunk party don't stop
It's just me and my boys, sure to bring the noise
You know that we make it hot
They make it hot, hot
They make it hot, hot
They make it hot, hot
They make it hot, hot
We go where we wanna go, flow how we wanna flow
If you don't know, well now you know
Having a good time is what were after
Chillin' with friends for fun and laughter
If you wanna roll you know where we're at
Spotlight lookin' cool somewhere in the back
Dave would be mad if he saw us laugh
Standing in the spotlight with our voices loud
Ain't no party like a chipmunk party
'Cause the chipmunk party don't stop
It's just me and my boys, sure to bring the noise
You know that we make it hot
They make it hot, hot
They make it hot, hot
They make it hot, hot
They make it hot, hot
Yo, Classic, give it up to Alvin
Show them how you do it, alright
Yo, you're ready Theodore, yeah
Cool, Simon, you with it
That's right, come on
Drivin' down sunset lookin' for describin'
My little dude's ain't dead, just ain't hot
Rollin' with the crew, the guest list says
Alvin and the chipmunks plus 82
VIP action, children relaxing
Superstar fashion, cameras flashing
Alvin, Simon, Theodore too
Do it like this every time we come through
Ain't no party like a chipmunk party
'Cause the chipmunk party don't stop
It's just me and my boys, sure to bring the noise
You know that we make it hot
They make it hot, hot
They make it hot, hot
They make it hot, hot
They make it hot, hot
They make it hot
