ALBUMMER! 36: Around the World with The Chipmunks

Today on Albummer! the gang is talking about Around the World with The Chipmunks, a novelty record from 1960 that's not nearly as racist as we expected it would be but we still had a good time.

The crew behind Two Minutes to Late Night are here to re-review some of the most critically reviled albums out there!

To this day, I believe in my heart that these songs are done by actual cartoon chipmunks.

Albummer. Albummer! ALBUMMMMMERRRRRR!

This cursed album reminded me of The Chipmunk Adventure, a movie that includes a sequence where an Egyptian prince voiced by Nancy Cartwright (pre-Bart Simpson fame) wants to fuck one of the Chipettes, and they have to seduce some snakes to escape. It only exists because The Black Cauldron was such a failure that it led to Disney layoffs, and some animators were tapped to work on it. I guess the Chipmunks have always been horny.

The only bit I believe in is that Jordan holds an accent for at least 30 minutes of the podcast.

Similar to when Jeremy was talking about slowed down Ride the Lightning. When Taylor Swift put out her latest album on 45rpm LPs. A LOT of angry amazon reviews from fans wondering why the album was playing so slow.

Chipmunks on 16 Speed

IIRC I think the record is left as is and by just slowing it down it sounds like sludge punk and dark synthwave. It rules and thank you for mentioning it.

Subjecting yourselves to bad albums was the secret kink all along.

My favourite example of playing music at the wrong speed was a friend of mine at University playing Kate Bush records slowed down so she sounded like Joy Division.

@conmulligan: Depends. If you're "sounding off," it's the comments. If you're "going crazy," it's the chat.
