I think I was 9 or ten when I got this album for Christmas. My parents bought it as a novelty but little did they know it would start me down the path to punk and metal music. Thanks mom and dad!

Omg, memory unlocked. We also would play it at "warp speed" on our record player

My elder kid, knowing how much I loved my Chipmunk Punk album, spotted Chipmunk Rock at a resale shop and picked it up for me last Christmas!

‘Theodore, what do those words really mean?’

I unironically believe that the guitar solo in this version of My Sharona is better than the original, and I will die on that hill. It's shorter and simpler, but it's much cleaner and more melodic

I had this one when it was new. I later got "Urban Chipmunk."

I've never seen this one. I had Urban Chipmunk, and another album that was pop covers.

I have all of my childhood vinyls as well, also some from when my mother was a child.

This looks familiar & may be unlocking core memories....

I never noticed Theodores high heels. Quite progressive for the time, I must say.

What always bothered me about Alvin and the Chipmunks is, why don’t they have stripes? Without stripes they just look like hamsters

I did not, but my cousin did. He had all those old sesame Street records too. We used to jam to that stuff 40 yrs ago. My aunt bought him any and every kids record back in the day. I wonder where they are today..
