About The Record:

Christmas with The Chipmunks, Vol. 2 by the Chipmunks was released in 1963, and contains 12 tracks: 11 traditional holiday songs and one original composition by Ross Bagdasarian, Sr. (Wonderful Day). The sped-up voices of Alvin, Simon, and Theodore were all performed by Bagdasarian with character names inspired by Liberty Records bosses: Al Bennett (Alvin), Si Warnoker (Simon), and sound engineer Ted Keep (Theodore). The concept even spawned a prime-time animated television program called The Alvin Show, which aired from October 14, 1961, through September 12, 1962, on CBS-TV. A glance at the tune-stack lists familiar favorites such as Deck the Halls, Hang Up Your Stockin', Jingle Bell Rock, All I Want for Christmas (Is My Two Front Teeth).
