The Chipettes are more inviolable than ever!
By Becca
The Chipmunks have been in our house since I was too young to do not forget it. My sister liked it first, but after I got a little older, I realized how cool they in truth are. So I was shocked in 2007 when I saw the TV publicity for "Alvin and the Chipmunks". That's whem I started gathering DVDs and CDs from this group. Now, the Squeakquel is dissimilar because it has the totally astounding Chipettes in it. The Chipmunks would be not one thing without their girls. But I never expected to see the Chipettes come on this strong. They sound GREAT!
However, I feel obligated to tell you that altho they did numerous editing to make the widely known and esteemed songs on their album "kid friendly", they failed in a heap of songs. Here are my views for each song:
1. You Really Got Me-The Chipmunks Featuring Honor Society
this song is cute and catchy. Some constituents are even a little funny (like when one of the Honor Society guys went "Oh! Oh! Oh!" and he sounded like he was attempting to be a chipmunk). It's not one of my bestloved songs, though.
2. Hot N Cold-The Chipettes
Like 'You Really Got Me", this one also starts to get old kind of quickly. However, I like the way it is sung, and the original Chipette sound is great. They also changed the unfitting content to something actually cute: "You alter your mind like a girl changes clothes. You always dress like a chick. I would know."
3. So What-The Chipettes
Okay, so I in truth like the way this is sung. It's in truth catchy, and the way the squeaky voices fit with the background music is better than the original. But they didn't make it exclusively kid friendly. Some things they were smart about, like cutting out the bad word and saying "Somody's gonna cry" rather of "Somebody's gonna die". But they also repeatedly say, "I'm gonna get in trouble, I wanna begin a fight" and "you're a tool". The other reviewer who commented on the inappropriateness of this song was defective with regards to the line "I'm gonna drink my money". They say, "I'm gonna spend my money".
They likewise changed these things:
"I guess I just lost my BOYFRIEND" intsead of husband
"The waiter just took my table and gave it to David Seville. I guess I'll go sit with Simon. At least he is keepin it real."
"I'm goin to get in trouble, Alvin will get started a fight." Intesd of my Ex
4. You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)-The Chipmunks
This song appears to be lyrically okay. My sister and I both love this song. It sounds so techno and bouncy. We love it.
5. Single Ladies (put a Ring on It)-The Chipettes
I like this version better than the original. It sounds fuller and more techno-like. The Chipettes say all the same things as the introductory artisan except that they interchanged the bridge for Brittany singing the main chorus in a synthasizer. Some of the lyrics could be considered inappropriate, but the main meaning is encouraging. It fundamentally means, "I need a commitment from you." Or "If you want ANYTHING from me, you have to marry me first." And I hope you know what I mean by ANYTHING. Now, whether or not little kids ought to be taking into account these ideas is something I can't say. Kids are dating younger and younger now-a-days. Maybe this is something that SHOULD ring in their ears.
6. Bring it On-The Chipmunks
Though this isn't my favored song, it is finelooking encouraging. It inspires you to get moving and stop procrastinating. And it is sung very well.
7. Stayin Alive-The Chipmunks
Again, not one of my bestloved songs, but it's still good. The Chipmunks did this song in their cartoon years, and this is a nice update. The singing has more personality than the old version. And I'm glad I got a version of this song because it's basically a classic.
8. The Song-The Chipettes Featuring Queensberry
This song has an "out of this world" sound if you recognise what I mean. The Chipettes have this in truth nice harmoniousness that echos. And I just love that portion where those little voices say "You think I'm crazy Baby?" It's so cute in a professional way.
9. It's OK-The Chipmunks
This song is very fast, but when you listen closely, you realize how furthering the words are! It basically says, "I recognise things are hard, just keep pushing through because if you make it through today, tomorrow will be better." It likewise inspires you to be strong and confident. If you look at this from a Christian perspective, it reminds you of the rewards you'll have in heaven. And it makes me think of having selfassurance in God.
10. Shake Your Groove Thing-The Chipmunks and Chipettes
Just because I know it's hard to tell the voices apart, the boys sing the primary verse and the girls sing the second verse. The Chipmunks did this song on "Undeniable", and that version was more bouncy. They had a more crisp sound. But even even though this one is a little slower, I like it because the Chipettes are in it, and Alvin and Brittany do a lot of vocals together without the others. For those thinking with regards to their kids, just know that one of the lines says, "Bad sufficient to strut our stuff". I don't recognise if it's a huge deal, but I thought I'd let you know.
11. Put Your Records On-The Chipettes
I LOVE this version of the song! Those girls have so much personality to put into it, it's almost sufficient to make me cry. This is a good song for the Chipettes. I could just imagine Brittany and Eleanor saying all these things to Jeanette. This is 100% awesome.
12. I Want to Know what Love Is-The Chipmunks
I like the sentiment in this song. It sounds so cute and innocent. It's just so slow that I don't listen to it as often as the other songs.
13. We Are Family-The Chipmunks and Chipettes
Again, they're hard to tell apart, so I'll tell you that the girls do the primary verse and the boys do the second verse. In the chorus, the girls sing the basi portion that says "I got all my sisters with me." I like that the second time around, it switches to the boys, and they say, "I got all my brothers with me." It's so CUTE! The family values taught in this movie and album are just great.
14. No One-The Chipettes featuring Charice
This isn't my bestloved song on the CD. The Chipettes don't genuinely sing much. They're basically singing background (like Kidz Bop). But I still like the sound. Compared to the Kidz Bop version, this is gorgeous good.
15. I Gotta Feeling-The Chipmunks and Chipettes
This song is so complicated, I don't think I may tell you where the boys sing and where the girls sing. I actually like this song. Though it's not actually in the movie, the album says it was inspired by the movie. Though it is in truth bouncy and fun, I suggest you buy the Kidz Bop version if you're looking for music for a young child. The Kidz Bop Kids changed the words. The Chipmunks repeatedly say "Oh My God" and "Look at her dancing. Just take it off." The Kidz Bop Kids say "Oh My Gosh" and "Look at her dancing. Just dance along."
You may ONLY get track 16 by downloading the mp3 album. It isn't included in the audio CD.
16. In the Family-The Chipmunks and Chipettes
The Chipmunks and Chipettes take turns singing when it comes to how they're there for each other. The boys call the girls sisters and the girls call the boys brothers. They talk when it comes to how even though they're not related, they became family and will treat each other like family. It's very cute and encouraging.
I'd commend this CD to:
-People who enjoyed the movie
-Fans of Alvin and the Chipmunks and/or The Chipettes
-Fans of the special guests on this album
-Kids who won't be influenced by the lyrics
-Anyone looking for a fun and more lighthearted take on galore very famous songs

Fun songs
By Irene
I purchased this for my son's 5th birthday party, which had the chipmonks as the theme. The kids had a ball dancing to the songs and my son has been listening to it each probability he gets, ever since. Much better than the soundtrack from the basi movie because all the songs are pretty contemporary.
