Since when have the chipmunks become cool?

I'm talking about that sped up singing style that Kanye West has made popular. Does anyone actually like the way that sounds? It sounds ridiculous to me.

There's a chipmunk christmas song on our work soundtrack.

It makes me cringe.

I find that "singing" style grating to say the least.

the Chipmunks have always been cool. Kanye West, less so.

thank god someone else agrees with me. i think it sounds god awful and is an embarrasment. this has to be considered the apocolypse. music has official gone down the drain. when people start ripping off the chipmunks, it is a very sad time for music. how can kanye west feel proud of this?

The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late)
~~Ross Bagdasarian

All right you Chipmunks!
Ready to sing your song?
I'll say we are!
Yeah!
Let's sing it now!
Okay, Simon?
Okay!
Okay, Theodore?
Okay!
Okay, Alvin? Alvin? ALVIN!
Okay!!!


Christmas, Christmas time is near,
Time for toys and time for cheer,
We've been good, but we can't last
Hurry Christmas, hurry fast,
Want a plane that loops the loop,
Me, I want a hula hoop,
We can hardly stand the wait,
Please Christmas, don't be late.


Okay fellas, get ready.
That was very good, Simon.
Naturally.
Very good Theodore.
Ahkhkhkh.
Ah, Alvin, you were a little flat, watch it.
Ah, Alvin? Alvin. ALVIN!
Okay!!!


Want a plane that loops the loop,
I still want a hula hoop,
We can hardly stand the wait,
Please Christmas, don't be late.
We can hardly stand the wait,
Please Christmas, don't be late.


Very good, boys.
Let's sing it again!
Yeah, let's sing it again!
No, That's enough, let's not overdo it.
What do you mean not overdo it?
Overdo it?
We want to sing it again!
Now wait a minute, boys...
Why can't we sing it again?

how come other people think it sounds good and kanye west should thank the chipmunks when he wins awards, since thay're his biggest influence. he should give them some money.
