#CHIPMUNK GIF FULL#

People Magazine named the Dramatic Chipmunk as one of The 10 Wildest YouTube Stars of 2007. Since its release, the video has received over fifty million views.

The 'chipmunk' turns its head and stares at the camera with a 'surprised' look while the music is played.

It uses three dramatic chords (A minor, C ♯ minor, and E minor) performed in full orchestral tutti, and has a rumble of kettledrums in the background. The audio used in Dramatic Chipmunk is taken from the score of the 1974 Mel Brooks film Young Frankenstein, which was composed by two-time Oscar nominee (and longtime Brooks collaborator) John Morris, and orchestrated by Morris and EGOT recipient Jonathan Tunick. CollegeHumor also released a longer clip under the title Undramatic Chipmunk, showing how the video looked in the original Japanese version. The clip has a prairie dog inside a transparent box being shown to the hosts in the studio. The clip of the prairie dog is from the Japanese television show Hello! Morning featuring Mini-Moni's segment, Mini-Moni Chiccha. An earlier and identical version, titled as Dramatic Look, had been uploaded to YouTube on 6 June 2007. The clip became widely known through uploads on YouTube and CollegeHumor on 19 June 2007.
