Bagdasarian sang and recorded the song, varying the tape speeds to produce high - pitched "chipmunk" voices, but the recording credits the vocals to The Chipmunks, Bagdasarian's fictitious singing group of chipmunks named Alvin, Simon, and Theodore . The song won three Grammy Awards in 1958, for Best Comedy Performance, Best Children's Recording, and Best Engineered Record (non-classical). </P> <P> In the recording, Dave asks the Chipmunks if they are ready to sing . Simon and Theodore immediately answer "Okay", but Alvin hesitates, causing Dave to yell "ALVIN!!!", to which Alvin responds emphatically, "Okay!" </P>
