On Burlington's Church street marketplace they had one store that had singing Chipmunks (a la Alvin and the Chipmunks) in the window, with Alvin's Christmas Album chipmunk music piped through the speakers in front of the store at about 120 decibels.

LOL. The Chipmunk music is definitely the worst! Sometimes people I know put it on around Christmas just to see me boil over.

Does this include The Chipmunks' 1968 single they recorded with Canned Heat?

The Chipmunks story is akin to the situation where opera was piped in - LOUD - in certain neighborhoods to keep the street thugs away ;-).

Music, of all kinds, has the power to inspire or..... drive people nuts. Hitler, for ex., was VERY cognizant of this, and made sure that music of certain kinds was a part of his rallies.
