Chapter 38 – Born To Rock Is Released!
A FEW WEEKS AFTER ALVIN'S COMA
NOVEMBER 1988
It's here and its out now, Born To Rock is hitting the shelves! Alvin, Simon and Theodore were to have an exclusive interview on 'Good Morning America' about the new album and Alvin's survival.
HOST:
Hello boys, its good to have you back on the show. They are here live from L.A here are Alvin, Simon and Theodore. Have just released a brand new album called 'Born To Rock' featuring them and thier wives. Covering many songs such as 'Bad' by Michael Jackson, 'Heaven Is A Place On Earth' by Belinda Carlise, 'I Want Dance With Somebody' by Madonna and two songs from thier movie 'Chipmunks Adventure'.
Now boys, I was wondering, where did the inspiration come from when you guys were making this album.
ALVIN:
The inspiration came with a thought in my head after when we had our concert in Australia a few months back. I sang Bad as I have had the rights to that song from Michael Jackson. Then when we headed for Sydney we annouced that where going to make a new album we spoke to people on the plane and it got wind up on a TV show. So that's how the inspiration came from David.
HOST:
Now your 30th anniversary is coming up this year. Have you got any idea for your celebrations?
SIMON:
Where going to have a party with some of our friends and release a new album called 'Solid Gold Chipmunks' full of our songs from 1958 – 1988 by Buena Vista Records.
HOST:
Well that is good news. All of you still working on your TV show?
THEODORE:
Yes, we are but our contract with NBC is nearly up. But they promised us to make a new just for the year 1990.
HOST:
Well that is really good news. You have any plans for the show yet?
THEODORE:
Nothing yet!
HOST:
Now if you don't can I please talk to Alvin alone?
SIMON & THEODORE:
Sure David.
And they both left with Alvin sitting on his chair.
HOST:
Alvin, you were in a coma! What happened?
Alvin gulped when he was to tell his story.
ALVIN:
Well, its been five months since that happened. I was caught speeding one time on my way to record this album but the police pulled me up and I was stressed out during the morning and then 10 hours later. Brittany and I had a fight and I stormed out. It was raining as well and the next thing I know I blacked out after my car crash.
HOST:
Well your all healthy and I hope you and Brittany won't get into too much trouble after what happened.
ALVIN:
I don't blame her Dave. Its my fault causing this embarrisment to her and my family.
HOST:
Well Alvin that's all we have time for. I wish you and your brothers a very happy birthday and you take yourselves.
ALVIN:
We will. Bye!
The album was a huge hit and Alvin was happy about. Quality Speciel Products was thier new label now and they are getting a huge world wide hit. They even play the best songs on the radio.
