Experimenting with the device he discovered a technique in which he recorded his slowly-sung voice at half speed and then played it back at normal speed creating a high-pitched squeaky voice This technique was pioneered on his successful 1958 novelty song “Witch Doctor” In the song the narrator asks a witch doctor for romantic advice because he has fallen in love with a girl; the witch doctor responds in a high-pitched squeaky voice with a nonsense incantation which creates an earworm. He used this technique on another pre-Chipmunks track "Bird on My Head." The song held No.1 Billboard Hot 100 Ranked by Billboard No. 4 song for 1958 ✨️The Chipmunks✨️ Bagdasarian later conceived the idea of Alvin and the Chipmunks who were named as an inside joke after execs at Liberty Records Alvin (after Al Bennett) Simon (after Simon Waronker) Theodore (Ted Keep) After its release Nov 11 1958 Chipmunks' debut album Let's All Sing with the Chipmunks in 1959 repeated on Christmas with the Chipmunks 1962 "The Chipmunk Song" remained on the charts 13 weeks incl 4wks No.1 later adapted into a short for The Alvin Show In 2007 following the release of the live-action Alvin and the Chipmunks film the song reappeared on the charts nearly five decades after its initial success Bagdasarian performed as both David Seville and the voices of all three Chipmunks Alvin and the Chipmunks The song helped launch the multimillion-dollar Alvin and the Chipmunks brand and has been ranked by Billboard and The New York Times as one of the greatest Christmas songs of all time ✨️Context/performance✨️ One phrase in the chorus has Alvin wishing for a hula hoop that year's hot new toy The novelty record was highly successful selling 4.5 mill copies in seven weeks eventually selling 12 million copies Bagdasarian performed at The Ed Sullivan Show As of 2011 total sales were est at 867,000 copies The Chipmunk Song among Top 20 Best-Selling Christmas songs of all time 23rd most performed Christmas song of the 20th century ✨️Legacy✨️ In 1958, it won Grammys for Best Comedy Performance Best Children's Recording Best Engineered Record (non-classical) Certified Gold by the RIAA one of the best-selling physical Christmas singles in the US Between 1958~1962 re-entered Hot 100 several times No.41 1958 No.45 in 1960 No.39 in 1962 Starting in 1963 Billboard list recurrent Christmas songs on a separate chart The song charted Hot Digital Songs for the first time in 2005 peaking No. 35.
