The Chipmunks secret revealed!

I have always guessed that the chipmunks records made by playing the backing tracks at 1/2 speed while the singers sing REALLY slow. And I am almost positive this is how it was done. I took “Mr. Tamborine Man” and slowed it to 1/2 speed, as it would’ve been while the singers were tracking. The quality is weak, it was a 24 kbps mp3 that i got from April Winchell’s site, and then at 1/2 speed it’s a 12 kbps mp3?It’s kinda creepy though. If anyone has any Chipmunks records, please let me borrow them or rip them for me at HIGH quality, so I can make some more of these.
