"The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Do n't Be Late) '' is a novelty Christmas song written by Ross Bagdasarian Sr. (also known as David Seville) in 1958. 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).
