Alvin and the Chipmunks Reunion Concert

For all of the accomplishments we chipmunks have made, we only have one claim to fame in the music industry. Alvin and the Chipmunks made quite a debut splash back in 1958 when they recorded there first album. The band was made up of Alvin, Simon and Theodore. They had a human band manager named Dave. I have old 45 rpm vinyl recording someplace. The band has been retired for some time.

Alvin, the band leader, was famous or infamous (depending on your perspective) for being a loud mouth trouble maker. Apparently not much has changed. My buddy Merry was traveling when he had an opportunity to help Alvin out of his latest scrape. Alvin asked him what he could do to thank Merry. Merry jokingly replied, wouldn’t it be great to get the band back together for a reunion concert at the Woodpile. They both laughed and went their separate ways.

This morning a funky looking tour bus pulled up at the Woodpile, and three highly recognizable and famous chipmunks poured out. Their crew started setting up a stage. Word of the concert spread faster than the speed of light.

Alvin dropped by Merry’s burrow with a special announcement. Each of the band members would take turns singing some of their most iconic songs with Merry’s folk band. Merry was ecstatic!

 

 

The sound manager checks audio levels in his control log. He is overheard muttering to himself “Wireless control seed 1X5 needs to be plugged into input #3 …”

 

Alvin holds a quick rehearsal with Merry’s folk band.

A crowd began gathering hours before the start of the concert. Prim, proper and rather shy Theodore shocks the crowd by working the turntable playing classic rock and roll songs.

All of a sudden the turntable stops working to everyone’s disappointment.

Theodore dives in to see what the problem is and finds a sunflower seed jamming up the works.

A quick flick of the paws and he gets it spinning again to the delight of the crowd.

With the concert about to begin, a technician makes one final sound check.

Alvin takes the stage to deafening applause.

Without further ado, Merry, Alvin, Archie and Spitfire dive into the first song.

Alvin jams with Merry showing him a new unscripted “signature move”
he has invented called the stretch.

Its not a classic Alvin and the Chipmunks concert without band manager Dave interrupting and yelling at Alvin for goofing off. Alvin pretends to be “MR. Innocent”

 For the next piece, Alvin takes the mike

Next on stage is Simon who hits some high notes

Simon is followed by Theodore who surprisingly doesn’t need to the mike to reach the audience with his wonderful voice.

Alvin has the audience laughing uncontrollably as the band sings an off color Irish drinking song.
