(From The Associated Press/The Hartford Courant)
Almost 50 years later, THE CHIPMUNKS -- ALVIN and his brothers SIMON and THEODORE -- are still singing, voiced now by ROSS BAGDASARIAN JR. and his wife,
JANICE KARMAN.
They're also still driving the hapless SEVILLE crazy, prompting him to scream out "ALVIN!" every few minutes.
The couple, who continued the legacy after the elder Bagdasarian's death in 1972, say they aren't surprised there is still an audience for the Chipmunks. They strike a chord with siblings, children and parents who may fight but still love each other, said Karman.
There's also something about those voices, created by recording Bagdasarian's and Karman's voices on analog tape, then speeding it up.
They tried switching to digital recording in recent years, Bagdasarian said, but it just didn't sound the same.
