"The Chipmunk Song" was the first Christmas song to hit #1 in America. It hit the top spot on December 22, 1958 and stayed for four weeks, sticking around long after the Christmas lights had come down.
The Chipmunks were called Alvin, Simon and Theodore. They were named after Liberty Records president Al Bennett, owner Si Warnoker and the engineer on duty when it was recorded, Ted Keep.
