The Chipmunk Revolution

     Ok, I’m an idiot.  We’ll concede that point right off the bat.  As our family celebrated Christmas, we came to the inevitable Christmas songs.  We listen every year to a Chipmunks Christmas record I’ve had since I was a kid, and my daughter opened the age old conversation:  What would (insert any song here) sound like sung by the Chipmunks?  Being a bit hazed by me egg nog, we ended up on youtube, seeing just what had been transformed into the language of monk.  What I found was, in some cases, pretty amusing.  In others, it bordered upon disturbing.  Here are some of the better ones we found:  I wouldn’t recommend listening to any of them all the way through; a taste should do…

Blitzkreig Bop  The Ramones

Chipmunk punk.  It almost works.

Comfortably Numb  Pink Floyd

Stoner monks.

We Will Rock You  Queen

Gay Freddy monks.

California Love  Dr. Dre and 2Pac

Thuggish monks.. Dr. A and S Pac.

In The End  Linkin Park

Linkin Park monks… emo Alvin.

The Joker  Steve Miller

Pass the joint monks.  Space Cowboy monks.

Rockstar  Nickelback

Rock star monks… With ZZ top, so these are sharp dressed monks.

Apologize  One Republic

Whiny heartbroken monks.

California Dreamin’  Mammas and the Pappas

Hippy monks in harmony.

Lollipop  Lil Wayne

Pimpin monks.

Wait and Bleed  Slipknot

For this one, you have to close your eyes and picture them in the Slipknot masks.  These are angry monks.

Coming Undone  Korn

Korny monks.

Nothin But A G Thang  Dr. Dre and Snoop Dog

Old school gangsta monks.

Halls of Illusions  Insane Clown Posse

Again, you need the visual; picture them in the silly Insane Clown Posse makeup.

You Bad Religion

Old school punk monk.

Mo Murder  Bone Thugs N Harmony

Hard core murderin monks.

Free Bird  Lynyrd Skynyrd

Pass the Jack and grab a guitar monks.

Sweet Dreams  Marilyn Manson

It isn’t so much the song that makes this one disturbing; it’s more the weird chick singing along.

Mid Life Crisis  Faith No More

Faith no monks.  90’s flashback monks.
