An emphasis on CHIP

Some of the Chipwrecked material seems to be putting the emphasis on "CHIP:"

Alvin and the Chipmunks history lesson

I didn't really think much about Alvin and the Chipmunks until someone asked me the other day to look at their recent motion picture.

Now it seems like everything I look at seems to point to Alvin and the Chipmunks.

1959

A friend of mine emailed me and told me the original Alvin and the Chipmunks were known as 'The Three Chipmunks'; this of course remind one of a lot of things - three kings (as in 'We Three Kings'), three crosses (since we have associated them with crosses - and obviously Alvin is the center cross), 3 days and nights (in the tomb), etc.

My friend (who is very alert) also mentioned to me that Alvin, Theodore and Simon's "father" is named David; David of course being the Tribe of Israel that that the Royal Family contend they are from and so seems to be associated with King Arthur, Prince William and Alvin the Chipmunk.

Who knew?

Oddly, I found this old Chipmunks record album cover...

The Chipmunks are opening their presents on the Winter Solstice or exactly 6 months after William's birthday (the Summer Solstice.)

Does it truly mean anything?  Well normally I'd say no but now I am seriously beginning to wonder.

Another note about 'monks'

Someone left a comment comparing "munk" (in chipmunk) with "monk"; I poo-pooed that saying the "munk" suffix actually came from the word, "mink", which is correct.

Having said that, "monk" correlates well with the Templar Knights, who were also referred to as "monks."

And of course the Templar Knights also seem related to Chipmunks 3: Chipwreked movie:

Comparison: Chipmunks 3 and Order of the Garter

Thanks to the anonymous commenter who drew the correlation!

Prince William became the 1000th member of the Order of the Garter in 2008:

Alvin and the Chipmunks and the upside-down cross

You are probably saying, "I see the cross, but it isn't upside down!"

As you most probably know, the upside-down cross represents the antichrist, according to Wikipedia.   Wikipedia says,

It has also often become associated with Satanic and anti-religious attitudes, as it is considered to represent the opposite of Christianity by inverting its primary symbol, the Latin Cross. As a result, this symbol has become very popular within anti-religion groups and among some extreme metal musicians, notably black metal groups. In popular culture, including films such as Rosemary's Baby, Exorcist: The Beginning, The Exorcism of Emily Rose and The Omen, inverted crosses are often displayed to represent Satan.

And another movie can now be added to the list: Alvin and the Chipmunks 3: Chipwrecked.

Why do I keep insisting this?

In an earlier post, we saw this, the etymology of the word chipmunk:

Chipmunk: the word's origin contains the word ajid, which means upside down.  The film poster for their latest film is obviously a cross; ie, the upside-down cross/antichrist.

A quick look at Alvin and the Chipmunks 3 (by request)

This may not be very thorough as I am just going by what I see off the trailers (much like I did in the Arthur Christmas film) but this message seems pretty clear to me: get chipped.

The movie is certainly intended for children and what better way to get into the minds of youngsters than with Alvin and the Chipmunks.

When I was a little boy, I had a little 45 RPM record of the Chipmunks singing a song called, "The Witch Doctor:"








It seemed innocent enough to me and my parents I suppose because I wore the record out and I remember all the words, etc. I guess what I am saying is, the Chipmunks have a lasting message with children.

The "Get Chip" (wrecked) message is all too plain. And believe it or not, it seems to tie in with the film, Arthur Christmas. Prince William and Charles (it is stated but unsubstantiated at this point) were the first two people in the world to get micro-chipped.








Yes, his name is "Alvin" and not Arthur but he's "the King of the World", "chipped" and wears a red shirt with a giant "A" on the front of it.

"I'm the King of the World"

The future "King of the World?"

This Christmas - the children are already familiar with the Arthur Christmas film, most probably.   So "Arthur" is already a part of this year's movie Christmas theme.

Get chipped?
