I got into country music so late in life because it was looked down upon culturally both in my household and among my friend groups. But somehow this Alvin and the Chipmunks country album found its way into our house when I was a kid. It was probably my introduction to a lot of those songs. I remember liking "The Gambler" and "I Love I Rainy Night" and puzzling over "Coward Of The County" because I was a 8 and also I wasn't Christian and I didn't know what 'turn the other cheek' meant.

Really funny to revisit these now and realise how much they were sanitised for kids.

"Then he bummed a twinkie and offered me a bite" 🤣

Remember the Chipmunks? Back in the ‘80s they released an album of alt-pop song covers. Normally, this would be something best left buried in the sands of time. But a few years back, someone took those tracks and slowed them down to half speed…and turned them all into goth-y sludge rock covers.

I think they’re actually kinda great. “Always On My Mind” (covering the Pet Shop Boys version of Elvis’s song) is particularly brilliant.

The songs on the 1987 animated movie The Chipmunk Adventure really have no business being so good! “Off To See The World”, “The Girls of Rock ’n Roll”, “Diamond Dolls”, “My Mother”, and “Chipmunk Adventure Theme” are just some of the songs that I really enjoy and give a hit of childhood nostalgia.
