The boys and Dave were having so much fun singing and dancing around that they almost completely forgot about the landlord's antics from earlier. The song really got them going, and they were jumping around the cabin like crazy. Dave was spinning around, and the boys were doing backflips and cartwheels. They were having a blast.
The Chipmunks:
I told the witch doctor I was in love with you
I told the witch doctor I was in love with you
And then the witch doctor, he told me what to do
He said that
Ooo eee, ooo ah ah ting tang
Walla walla, bing bang
Ooo eee, ooo ah ah ting tang
Walla walla, bing bang
Ooo eee, ooo ah ah ting tang
Walla walla, bing bang
Ooo eee, ooo ah ah ting tang
Walla walla, bing bang
I told the witch doctor you didn't love me true
I told the witch doctor you didn't love me nice
And then the witch doctor, he gave me this advice
He said that
Just then, The phone rang and snapped Dave out of his groove. He groaned, knowing that it was probably his landlord or, even better, his manager calling for the millionth time to ask for the song he was supposed to turn in weeks ago. Annoyed, Dave snatched up the phone.
"Look, man, I'm working on it as fast as I—"
Dave's demeanor changed as soon as he heard the voice on the other end of the line.
"J-Julie?" he asked, his voice filled with surprise.
"Hi, Dave!", Julie said with a laugh, "I got the stuff for brunch. I'll be over at around seven? Love you, bye!" The line went dead, and there was an awkward pause.
"Who's Julie?" Theodore asked. Instead of answering, Dave jumped up from his chair and darted out of the room. The other boys exchanged bewildered glances.
"Hmm," Simon mused. "Based on the context, I believe this 'Julie' may be Dave's partner or significant other." Theodore's confusion grew until Alvin nudged him.
"It's his girlfriend, Theo," Alvin said with a grin. The light bulb turned on for Theodore, and he gave a big "OOHHH~!" Suddenly, Dave rushed back into the room in a more relaxed outfit.
"For once, Alvin's actually right," said Dave, "I'm supposed meet her here for a dinner date in HALF an hour!" Dave started dashing around the cabin, attempting to clean up the mess. The boys could see he was really starting to stress , Simon stood in front of Dave, causing him to slam on the brakes.
"Dave, Dave!", said Simon, "It's cool. You go get the food. We'll take care of the house."
"Awwwww!", groaned Alvin, "Do we have to?!"
"Yes!", said Simon, in a mocking tone. Dave hesitated on this.
"I appreciate the help fellas, but this is serious", he said, "And don't take this the wrong way, but you guys ARE the reason the cabin looks like this in the first place."
"Wow!", said Alvin, as he began fake crying, "You know that…that really hurts."
"Come on, Dave. We're in this together," said Simon as he hugged his brothers. Dave was going to answer when he looked at the time. 10 minutes had already passed.
"I gotta go!", said Dave as he rushed out the door. He quickly turned back and popped his head through the door.
"Don't touch a thing until I get back!" were the last words Dave said before slamming the door. The three boys sighed and looked at each other.
"Well, guess it's time to clean," said Alvin, rolling up his sleeves.
"Clean what?" asked Theodore.
"This mess!" replied Alvin. "We wouldn't want Dave to bring his honey to a pigsty, do we?" Theodore didn't seem so sure about this.
"But Dave said not to do anything," he reassured him with a pat on the back.
"He just meant anything bad," he said.
"Just think of it as a way to thank him for taking us in all those years ago," added Alvin, "Now, Come on! We've got twenty minutes to clean this place up!" Simon and Theodore nodded and set to work, cleaning the house until it was sparkling. Meanwhile, their greedy landlord lurked outside their cabin, plotting something sinister. He stood just outside the cabin, a look of pure evil on his face.
"I warned you, Seville," he said manically, "Now, let's see your boys handle my precious Shnookums." With that, he grabbed a cage and opened it, releasing a huge, mean-looking cat into the yard. It stealthily made its way over to an open window. Alvin was in the kitchen, sweeping, when he saw it.
"Aw, hey there little guy," he said, reaching out to pet it. The cat immediately flared its claws. Alvin swore he saw it grin a sinister grin.
"...uh oh," said Alvin.
Simon and Theodore were busy in the living room, cleaning up and tidying things, when they heard a ruckus coming from the kitchen. There was a lot of noise, like things being thrown and breaking, along with hissing and screaming.
Theodore and Simon looked at each other, wondering what could be happening in there. They both put down what he was doing and rushed over to the kitchen door.
"Alvin?" he said. No then, Alvin burst out of the pantry and slammed the door behind him. Simon and Theodore gasped in shock at the sight of their brother. His clothes were torn, and he had a nasty-looking gash over his left eyebrow.
"What happened?" asked Theodore. Alvin pointed toward the pantry.
"We have an uninvited guest," he said. "And it's trying to kill me!"
Simon and Theodore approached the pantry door cautiously. They peeked inside and saw a huge black cat sitting in the middle of the room. Its tail was lashing back and forth, and it was looking around with its ears perked forward. The cat turned its head and hissed at them, then charged. The two chipmunks quickly slammed the door. The only sounds that came from behind it were scratching, hissing, and the loud crash of something heavy being knocked over.
"Yup, definitely a cat," Simon said.
"And it's a mean one," Alvin said, "Look at what it did to my face!"
"What do we do?" asked Theodore, "We've still got half the cabin to clean."
"I don't know," Simon said, "But we've got to get it out of here, and fast!"Meanwhile, the cat was patiently waiting inside the pantry, but its patience wore thin when the door suddenly opened. Suspicious, the cat cautiously made its way out. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a giant sheet fell on the cat, scaring it half to death. Simon and Theodore immediately jumped on the cat, trying to pin it down.
Alvin grabbed a golf club that was sitting nearby. With Simon and Theodore holding the cat in place, Alvin took a swing and whacked the cat out the window. The landlord was outside reading a magazine when the loud when he looked up and saw his "Shnookums" come flying towards him. Before he knew it, the cat landed on his face and started scratching him. The landlord screamed and ran away, frantically trying to get the cat off. The Chipmunks watched in amusement.
"Well, I guess that takes care of the cat problem," Alvin said, dusting his hands off. Just then, Theodore and Simon noticed that Alvin's cut was leaking.
"Alvin, you're bleeding!" Simon said. Alvin shrugged it off.
"Don't worry about it. Just slap a Band-Aid on it, and I'll be fine," he said, "Now, let's get back to work and clean this cabin." Theodore and Simon were concerned but figured if Alvin said he was okay, then he was okay. With only ten minutes left to clean the cabin, the boys worked their tails off to make sure it was spotless for Dave's date.
