But did you cognise that it's not in recent times a whacky childrens' piece and that it flat-topped the pop charts in 1958? Did you cognize that the soprano sound of the Witch Doctor in the poem is really the said voice of the world-renown Alvin and the Chipmunks?
The creative person who had a #1 hit in 1958 next to "The Witch Doctor" was David Seville; the identical David Seville that nearly a time period ulterior was all complete the radio airwaves (and before long TV too) yelling "ALVIN!" (and successful a Grammy in 1959).
David Seville was the lap given name of Ross Bagdasarian Sr., foaled in Fresno, CA in 1919 (and died in 1972).
"The Witch Doctor" was not Seville's primary #1, tho' it was the opus that propelled his calling to worldwide popularity and fate. In 1951 a song he co-wrote next to his relative and proud dramatist William Saroyan, "Come On-A My House" was a #1 hit for lead singer Rosemary Clooney (aunt of the renowned entertainer George Clooney).
"In 1958, my inherited was downhill to our later $200. Being a individual at heart, my dad did what any else prudent soul would do. He took $190 of it and bought the current motherland of the art strip recorder, one that allowed him to modify strip speeds. As he well-tried to resolve what to compose about, he freckled a photo album on his desk, Duel next to the Witch Doctor. In a ruptured of original energy, fueled principally by clear panic, he wote 'Witch Doctor' - a mantra about a guy who's hopelesssly in fondness and goes to see a witch doctor for warning..." -Ross Bagdasarian, Jr.
But how was the Witch Doctor's voice, and the Chipmunks' voices in actuality created?
Since if you addition the career of the tape, the TEMPO of the performance as well speeds up, in instruct to get the coveted follow of accurate tempo shared next to the penetrating voice, Seville had to copy the songs singing them at almost partially celerity - a toilsome chore specially for the Chimpmunks' collection which had triune characters and compatibility environs.
"Bagdasarian did all the voices himself, a slow function that took iii life and nine slip tracks in a cd studio. He called the Chipmunks after Al Bennett and Si Warnoker, the heads of his copy company, Liberty, and Ted Keep, the cassette applied scientist for the session." -StraightDope.com
As for "The Witch Doctor," upon its liberate by the financially strapped Liberty Records, it colorful to #1 and sold more than than a cardinal copies. Alvin and the Chipmunks' "The Chipmunk Song," which debuted in November of 1958, did even a cut above.
"When the particulate matter preconcerted in mid-January 1959, "The Chipmunk Song" had sold four and a fractional a million annals in vii weeks. An all incident narrative in the music business organization...In 1964, the Beatles ["I Want to Hold Your Hand"] eclipsed "The Chipmunk Song" for fastest commercialism composition of all juncture. Figuring if you can't beat them, interweave them, Pop visited the Beatles in London. And, with their blessing, released The Chipmunks Sing The Beatles." -Ross Bagdasarian, Jr.
The Witch Doctor Lyrics

And after the witch doctor, he told me what to do
