What my brother tried to get me to remember Alvin and the Chipmunks when I was 7

Seeing the dvd Alvin and the chipmunks first show on sale today brought back memory of what my best friend Charles and my brother and a whole bunch of kids from the daycare nursery and some kids from the orphanage went to a studio to see how they made the voices of the chipmunks. I was 4 years old at the time. The technician allowed all us kids to hear our voice like our favourite chipmunk mine was Alvin when he said Okay in a frustrated voice because he just wanted to play. This was in Toronto, Ontario Canada. The studio was trying to sell it to the Canadian market and eventually did. The song was a hit in 1961.

I remember singing that silly song all the time Oooh eee walla bing bang the witch doctor, with my brother and he'd say don't you remember. He was trying to get me to remember because I was hit by a car and had hit my head. It has taken me forever to remember. I don't need the dvd. Although I'd like to add it to my library and I probably will buy my own copy.
