Chipmunks On 16 Speed (often stylized as chipmunks on 16 speed) is a 2015 side project by musician Brian Bocherdt. The songs are originally from Alvin And The Chipmunks, but played at half speed (16 RPM), which undoes the process used to pitch up the vocals. This leads to an almost melancholic effect, with the slow, powerful vocals and distorted instruments.
No one likes to be lonely, it's not easy.
Sometimes life's pretty boring and cheesy.
That's okay with me,
Maybe it's the way it's supposed to be.
Maybe if you change your mind,
We could just get high.
I know you don't believe it, it's a new day.
I'm sure you'll find a reason to think that it's too late.
That's okay, baby,
'Cause you know you don't have to live that way.
Maybe you could take some time,
When the time feels right.
And I know that you've been afraid,
And I know that you've felt uncool,
And I know that you feel ashamed,
To do what you want to do.
Don't try to tell your mother,
That's "It's gonna be all right".
You'll never explain to your father,
"That the sun shines".
That's okay with me,
Maybe it's the way it's supposed to be.
Maybe if you change your mind,
We could just get high.
We could get high, baby (Could get high)
Book a flight (Could get high)
Go to China, baby (Could get high)
(We could get high)
Yeah (Could get high)
(We could get high)
(We could get high)

2014, We Could Just Get Right
What's going on?
Everything's broken, but it feels so strong.
What's going wrong?
I just wanna know, so I can sing my song.
I know that you can't find a reason,
But give me a chance to believe it.
And we've got to know what's going on.
We've got to know so we can be strong.
It's time to come home, but it's been so long,
And we're broken.
Walk through the door.
Everything's changing, but I can't be sure.
I'm not scared anymore,
'Cause I got to know what we came here for.
I know that you think that it's over,
But maybe we're just getting closer.
And we've got to know what's going on.
(Got to know what's going on)
We've got to know so we can stay strong.
It's time to go home, but it's been so long,
And we're broken.
And we can't go on,
And you can't come home.
Open the door.
'Cause I got to know if there's something more,
Whatever it is I'll believe it.
And we've got to know what's going on.
We've got to know so we can be strong.
Can't go alone and we can't stay long,
And you know this.
And we've got to know what's going on.
(Got to know what's going on)
Got to know 'cause it's been so long.
It's time to go home but we can't go,
'Til it's over.

In California you can do what you wanna do.
In Alabama you can smoke marijuana,
In Alabama you can do what you wanna. (I can, I went there)
In Alabama, in Alabama, f'kin, in Alabama

Everybody makes the rules, ohh.
It's alright, it's just fine,
'Cause America was made for you.
In West Virginia you can smoke marijuana,
In Pennsylvania you can smoke marijuana.
In Arizona, up in Colorado, even in Indiana.
In Minnesota you can do what you wanna do.
It's alright. It's alright,

'Cause America was made for two.
In California you can smoke marijuana.

In California you can love who you want to.

Do you ever feel bad?
Do you ever get sad?
Maybe that's just what you're supposed to do.
Do you have a nice car?
Do you live in a cool house?
nobody knows what you're going through
I wanna be a movie star.
Do you ever make plans?
Do you ever have sex?
Maybe that's just what you're supposed to do.
Maybe we could go out,
Or would you rather stay in.
Everyone wants more than just a friend.
I wanna be a movie star.
I wanna be a movie star.
And I know you're probably wondering who you are.
And I know it might seem lonely but we've come so far.
Do you like to wear pants?
Do you love to fly planes?
Maybe that's just what you're supposed to do.
Maybe we should sell out,
Maybe we could buy gold,
Maybe we can just go back home.
I'm gonna be a movie star.
I'm gonna be a movie star.
I'm gonna be a movie star.
I'm gonna be a movie star.

I don't have enough time
To say the things I wanna say,
To do the things I wanna do,
Or to be like you.
I just want some time
To express the things I feel.
Just to express the things I feel
And believe them too.
2 + 2 has been 4 for
So many darn years, oh lord.
I wanna write a song.
Oh, baby is that so wrong?
And it goes la de da de da de da de day-oh.
La de da de, where did all the good times go?
La de da de la da dee, dum, dom, la da de day.
When will you come back home?
I went down to the mall,
Then they closed down the mall,
Guess they don't want me going to the mall,
'Cause I'm just too small (too small for the mall)
Then I built some trains,
And I'm travelling somewhere new.
It's a wonderful world, but still no you,
It's a wonderful world for two.
Singin' la de da de da de da de day-oh.
La de da de, where did all the bad times roll?
La de da de la da dee, dum, dom, la da de day.
When can you come back home?
I just went online
To explain the things I feel,
To express the things I mean,
And it felt so real.
Now I'm doing alright,
And I'm downright feeling okay.
It's the end of the world and I just can't wait,
I know that you can relate.
La de da de da de da de day-oh.
La de da de, where did all the good times go? (sing)
La de da d-de dum de da, d-d-dim,
Dwaayah, d-de dum dwee-ayy, that's okay!
La de da de da de da de day way-oh, be dot do.
When did all the windmills start to turn so slow? (Wondering)
La de da de la d-de dum dom, la da de day.
When will you come back home?
Just got home, got no home
La de da d-de where did it go? (Oh, no)
I can't go home.

Woke up in the mornin', travelling straight into the sun,
Told my friends and family I was gone.
Looked back in the mirror, thought about who I had become,
And I don't think that anything's gone wrong.
Jumped out of my suitcase and went travelling down the road,
Went back to the place where I was born.
Thinking about my future, thinking about how far we have come.
Oh, I don't think I'm gonna be going home.
And the day goes on, goes on, goes on, goes on,
And the day goes on.
And the day goes on, goes on, goes on, hold on,
And the day goes on.
Went down to Virginia thinking 'bout how to change my name
Just in case I have to fly away.
Jumped onto a spaceship and I went to outer space,
And now I think I'm gonna be okay.
And the day goes on, goes on, goes on, goes on,
And the day goes on.
And the day goes on, goes on, hold on,
Whenst the day goes.
And I'm long gone.
And I'm long gone.
And I'm right where I belong.
I went to the future thinkin' about how to spend my day,
Thinking about the things I can't explain.
It's 1900 and the times are going to change,
Oh, now I think we're gonna be okay.
And the day goes on, goes on, goes on, goes on,
And it goes along.
And the day goes on, hold on, hold on, stay strong,
And the day goes on.

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah,
I'm finally on my way.
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah,
Today's a brand new day.
And the sky's so blue,
I don't know what to do.
And the sky's so grey,
I don't know what to say.
And we sing ay-oh-ay-oh-ay-oh-ay-oh-ay-oh-ay.
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah,
Love is here to stay.
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah,
Praise the goddamn day.
And I can't go on,
If I don't know where I'm going.
and I can't go back,
If I know where I'm at.
And we sing ay-oh-ay-oh-ay-oh-ay-oh-ay-oh-a-ay.
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah,
I'm finally on my way
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah,
Gonna find a way
Hallelujah,
Today's a brand new day.

I wonder if we'll smile in our coffins
While loved ones mourn the day, absence of our faces
Living, laughing, eyes awake
Is this too much for them to take?
Too young for one's conclusion, the lifestyle won
Such values you taught your son
That's how (that's how), that's how
Look at me now
I'm broken
Inherit my life
I'm broken
One day, we all will die, a clichéd fact of life
Force-fed to make us heed
Inbred to sponge our bleed
Every warning, a leaking rubber
A poison apple for mingled blood
Too young for one's delusion, the lifestyle cost
Venereal mother embrace the loss
That's how (that's how), that's how
Look at you now
You're broken
Inherit your life
You're broken
Ah
That's how (that's how), that's how
Look at us now
I'm broken
Inherit my life
I'm broken
That's how, that's how, that's how
Look at me now
I'm broken (broken)
I'm broken (broken)
I'm broken (broken)
I'm broke
Can't you see I'm easily bothered by persistence?
One step from lashing out at you
You want in to get under my skin and call yourself a friend
I've got more friends like you, what do I do?
Is there no standard anymore?
What it takes, who I am
Where I've been, belong
You can't be something you're not
Be yourself by yourself
Stay away from me
A lesson learned in life
Known from the dawn of time
Respect, walk
What did you say?
Respect, walk, are you talking to me?
Are you talking to me?
Run your mouth when I'm not around, it's easy to achieve
You cry to weak friends that sympathize
Can you hear the violins playing your song?
Those same friends tell me your every word
Is there no standard anymore?
What it takes, who I am
Where I've been, belong
You can't be something you're not
Be yourself by yourself
Stay away from me
A lesson learned in life
Known from the dawn of time
Respect, walk
What did you say?
Respect, walk
Are you talking to me?
Respect, walk
What did you say?
Respect, walk
Are you talking to me?
Are you talking to me?
No way, punk
Respect, walk
What did you say?
Respect, walk
Are you talking to me?
Respect, walk
What did you say?
Respect, walk
Are you talking to me?
Are you talking to me?
Walk on home, boy
