The Chipmunks sing the Beatles

I have always thought the Chipmunks were a pretty cute cartoon.  I used to watch it when I was a kid in the 1980's although I did enjoy the repeats of the older version (the Alvin Show) as well.  The new movies are alright, but not as cute as the original.

In 1964, the Beatles outsold the Chipmunk's Christmas song as the fast selling song of all time.   Because of this Ross Bagdasarian (who went by the stage name of Dave Seville) decided to go to London and talk with the Beatles about making a Chipmunk Beatles album.   Surprisingly, he got their blessing and the album was made and went to sell millions of copies.   (According to the Chipmunk's official website.  I would love to hear more about this). 

This is a Rose Bowl parade float celebrating that album.   I think it is super cute, because Simon is my favorite Chipmunk.   Although I do say that I always thought it was sort of goofy that Dave was the 4th Beatle....
