...Chipmunk Song (The Chipmunks; Liberty). No escape from this one. Songwriter Ross (Witch Doctor) Bagdasarian's clamorous fable about a trio of quarreling, caroling chipmunks sold more records (an estimated 3,500,000) in a shorter time (five weeks) than any other disk in the past year and probably in recording history. The "chipmunks" are actually Bagdasarian's own voice recorded at varying speeds.

Older citizens, if they search their memories hard, can still remember when Elizabeth Taylor appeared opposite Roddy McDowall in Lassie Come Home, was seen around Hollywood playing with rabbits and turtles, and wrote a story about a pet chipmunk entitled Nibbles and Me.

Ever since he first loped onstage last fall opposite such formidable opposition as CBS's Playhouse go and ABC's Wire Service, it was clear that Tennessee Ernie was a new kind of Ford in TV's future. Jaws slack and chipmunk eyes watering, his mouth listing to port in a mustachioed half-smile, Ernie could slam into a fair-weather tune with authority, sink back languidly into some corn pone-and-molasses badinage about his pea-pickin' cousins (he claims 150 kinsfolk) or how to make porcupine meat balls.
