Why's it called Dramatic Chipmunk

IT should be called Dramatic Prairie Dog so the name should be changed. change the name please! --24.7.204.40 (talk) 04:21, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's referred to as both terms, however I would presume Dramatic Chipmunk is the most common, and is therefore the article's title. It makes a note of the alternate name in the first sentence. Master&Expert (Talk) 05:05, 14 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In this case, Wikipedia would look at the WP:COMMONNAME. OK, the creature is actually a prairie dog, but the "Dramatic Chipmunk" tag has stuck.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 20:41, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Origins of the video

This has been moved from User talk:Ianmacm:

Hi, sorry to bother you, but I was wondering if you could change some info on the Chipmunk / Prairie Dog page. It was my friend Kris ( http://www.youtube.com/user/magnets99 ) who created and uploaded the infamous 5 second clip - and it was on b3ta.com and youtube before Collegehumour got hold of it. I would edit the wiki page myself but I'm not exactly ofay with the wiki rules.

Material on Wikipedia needs a reliable source. The Dramatic Chipmunk video is generally associated with CollegeHumor and YouTube, although the CNET citation here stops short of saying how it originated. Could you provide any sources on the origins?--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 15:22, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Ian

I've asked for further corroborating evidence, but by simply checking the date of posting, you can see magnets99's was posted nearly two weeks earlier:

It is a fair point that sites like CollegeHumor often post material that they have found elsewhere. The Dramatic Chipmunk video dates from June 2007 or thereabouts, but the specific claim to have created it would need a reliable source. There is a parallel here with the spoof Hitler rant videos.[1] There have been various claims about who invented these, but the origins are lost in the mists of time.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 11:01, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Having looked into this, the statement in the WP:LEAD that the video first appeared on CollegeHumor on 19 June 2007 is definitely wrong. Dramatic Look was uploaded to YouTube on 6 June 2007, and the article should reflect this. It would also be useful to have a reliable source about how the video came into being.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 17:56, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Made some additions to the section on the score. Admiral Bimbo (talk) 01:01, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Name of originator

who actually created the dramatic chipmonk clip (as in who cut it out and added the score to it?) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.109.82.219 (talk) 16:50, 30 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

See the section "Origins of the video" above. It would be good to name the creator of the video, but there is no reliable sourcing for this. The YouTube user magnets 99 (Kris) may well be the originator, as his version titled "Dramatic Look" was on YouTube around two weeks earlier than "Dramatic Chipmunk", which is the more common title of the video.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 17:02, 30 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Croods sloth's 'tune of doom'

Is this also possibly what inspired that little tune that the little sloth hums at some points in The Croods? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sergeidave (talk • contribs) 05:24, 26 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
