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

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"
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.
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.
Lololol yeah I would gather not
@clive Instantly transformed into a Depeche Mode song. Love it though!
Totally
@clive too busy dancing?
@clive Is it weird I’m seeing the Misfits in my rattled peanut shell of a brain?
Nah, legit
@clive this is the most delightful deep list
