Semi-Charmed Life (Alvin and the Chipmunks)

[@SpenceIsAChef]

The abject horror of Alvin reminiscing about “falling asleep inside you”. Ugh.

[@handwavepress3389]

This is the best thing on the internet. The studio musicians who laid down the vocals HAD to have known what they were doing. They were probably high-fiving the whole time, and hoping that the producer didn't figure out what was going on.

[@slennon19]

this is amazing. and the lyrical changes are quite funny imo

[@linkbiff1054]

For everybody that is shocked that a kid group is doing a song about drugs, major lyrical changes were made.

[@cyberlocc]

And???

[@handwavepress3389]

Alvin says 'I'm packed and I'm holding,' 'chop another line,' 'i fell asleep inside you,' and who can forget 'I bumped up, took the hit that I was given, then I bumped again, then I bumped again.' They changed JUST enough lyrics that they got away with it. This is brilliant.

[@liamneedsauniquehandle]

"major" yeah sure

[@Cabbitania]

Chop another line....i was taking sips of it through my nose....those little red candies they passed the test.... how is this version not still about taking drugs? 😂

[@roecocoa]

I mean, "little red candies" used to be "little red panties," so...

[@FrownyMascot]

CCC

[@cyberlocc]

For all those saying Lyrical Changes were made, ya maybe by idiots.... Alvin: I'm packed and I'm holding ^ drug Reference. Alvin just said, he has a gun and he is holding drugs currently... Unchanged lyric. And I make her smile, like a drug for you Do ever what you wanna do, coming over you Umm Drug and sex reference? Unchanged lyric... Chop another line like a coda with a curse Come on? Serious drug Reference, again unchanged lyric. I was taking sips of it through my nose Do I really need to keep going? They removed the Word Meth, a few times, so all of a sudden its not a drug song? Gimme a break....

[@-arcademaster202-]

they changed it just barely enough so they could get away with it and I love that

[@avanicollle]

alvin: “how do i get back there to the place where i fell asleep inside you”

[@thetickedoffpianoplayer4193]

I'm not sure what the lyrics are of this Bowdlerized version, but I wish I could understand them because they would have had to get pretty creative to make this kid-friendly.

[@handwavepress3389]

They either massively failed at that mission, or succeeded in a different mission: sneak some MASSIVELY inappropriate shit under the radar. Brilliant.

[@liamneedsauniquehandle]

they censored only the obvious stuff

[@zaccosta7928]

do do do, do do do do!!

[@erictwele]

I think they're saying "breathing on a stick will lift you up..."

[@ranelgallardo7031]

Eric Twele That’s not a good substitute that’s advocating tobacco smoking

[@StankyCloud]

It actually says : dreaming of a state that will lift you up until you break

[@jberrethful]

Thats weed for ya.

[@liamneedsauniquehandle]

i think they say "dreaming of escape"

[@bluegrassbaby86]

Wow, they had to do some serious bowdlerizing to make that work.

[@brucasis4ever]

But they just decided not to bother instead 🤣

[@juando290]

So...how is a song about doing meth a good idea to have Alvin and his brothers sing for kids?

[@pak009]

I have no idea why the video game team made this song.

[@oilandwine8]

I'm late in response, but they do clean up the words to make it more appropriate. I didn't even hear a reference to any drugs.

[@juando290]

+Luth Tate Coming like a freak show/how do I get back there where I fell asleep I side you, etc. pretty funny. The line about her crashing. And they did not edit the part about the red panties. All the reverence a to being high or heavy. Pretty hilarious.

[@oilandwine8]

Well, most people are too busy trying to get the notes instead of the words xD

[@guydeweese9622]

Because of the do do do part, Dave

[@Thechipettes02]

Goodbye -Neil Cicierega

[@fryode]

"Those little red panties have passed the test." How did that sneak through?

[@lukel591]

Fryode your dumb

[@stephenwells6434]

It didn't.

[@StankyCloud]

They actually changed it to : those little red candies they pass the test Right inside my belly please feed me all the rest . 😂

[@Cabbitania]

Little red candies could be interpreted as edibles. This version is still totally a song about taking drugs. Lol

[@sweettea-ms7ex]

@@StankyCloud that actually sound dirtier, wtf was this game

[@brycejam6722]

OK the guitar solo that’s my favorite

[@deckmeister5352]

Sounds the same as the original did you change it???

[@michaelhammond485]

Am I the only one that hears Eric Cartman when they sing "do do do, do do do do".

[@HannaBlahhhh]

[@batmanRisen08]

good job :) also, what does he say instead of crystal meth?

[@ranelgallardo7031]

antiMATTer16 Gibberish

[@liamneedsauniquehandle]

"dreaming of escape"

[@pak009]

@batmanRisen08 I don't know. I can't seem to find it in google.

[@pak009]

@Joxuhas Yeah. I wished they made a music video for this song.

[@hollyacker]

can someone sludgefest this pls

[@liamneedsauniquehandle]

done and done

[@pak009]

well, mostly the other chipmunk parodies are pop songs, so I choose something different.

[@jw8395]

Wow, a Chipmunk parody that's reasonable (by that I mean "something they'd actually sing") and isn't almost universally hated. That's rare. So many other parodies like this are more disliked than liked.

[@ralphmatthews4937]

What the hell? This cover proves that the people who made this don't even try to understand the subject matter of what they are writing about. This song is horrible! It's about meth, sex and other disturbing stuff. However, it is really hilarious to hear those lyrical changes.

[@IdanhaMC]

how is sex and meth disturbing

[@skeletonkid6181]

Sam think about what you said

[@IdanhaMC]

SkeletonKid well sex is just natural

[@skeletonkid6181]

Sam true true

[@sebastianmaldonad7148]

This song in reality it's about a guy who is lost in the drugs world, and one thing that for he was good in a beggining at the end only scared him

[@wilsonstrickland4888]

The epitome of music used in the worst way 🤢🤮

[@lilmissbriarrose]

why did they put this in the game 💀💀
