Here's Alvin and the Chipmunks singing "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" ... except slowed down to 16 RPM:

Make sure to read all the listener annotations on the song's timeline 😅

This is part of a larger project -- a Toronto guy found an LP of Alvin and the Chipmunks covering pop songs

The guy had an old record player that could play at 16 RPM

So he played them all

They're here: soundcloud.com/alvin-thechipmu

The version of Tom Petty's "Refugee" will haunt your dreams

I wept with uncontrollable laughter for the first two minutes of "Jesse's Girl"

Clive Thompson

omg the version of Blondie's "Call Me"

I am not going to be able to *sleep* tonight

I think my new favorite track is "Good Girls Don't"

That chorus

my god

The long, *long*, drawn-out notes of the voices

It's like sad, exhausted bluegrass vox backed up by a Nine Inch Nails rhythm section that was run through the lossiest MP3 algorithm six times in a loop

@clive oh wow, I had this album. I’m afraid to listen.

@anildash

It's kind of perfect christmas eve music frankly

do you think my neighbors would mind if I blasted it out my front window for the rest of the evening

The guitar solo in "Walk Like An Egyptian" -- it's like an elephant being strangled

@clive More like Crawl Like An Egyptian. Once played the Bangles version for a guide in Cairo - he didn’t enjoy it.

@michaelslade

Lololol yeah I would gather not

@anildash @clive Be afraid. But also, hit play already.

@clive Instantly transformed into a Depeche Mode song. Love it though!

@ArtHarg @clive It’s really more Joy Division than Depeche Mode IMO, but it’s _glorious_ nonetheless.

@clive Is it weird I’m seeing the Misfits in my rattled peanut shell of a brain?

@clive this is the most delightful deep list

@bretdawson

It is magnificent

I am going to have this on infinite repeat until 2024
