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:
You've been keeping love from me
That's not very smart
So I went out and found myself
Someone to tell me how to win a heart
My friend the Witch Doctor
He taught me what to say
My friend the Witch Doctor
He taught me what to do
I know that you'll be mine
When I say this to you
Everybody can they do it (can they do it)
Come on people let's get to it (let's get to it)
Come on shake, come on roll
Everybody hit the floor
Come on shake, come on roll
Hit the Chipmunks here we go!!
Alvin!! Simon!! Theodore!!

Reviews for "Revisiting the Magic: The Original Witch Doctor in Alvin and the Chipmunks"
1. Jane - 2/5 stars
I found "Alvin and the Chipmunks: Witch Doctor Original" to be quite disappointing. The original version of the song was already catchy and fun, but this version felt forced and overproduced. The chipmunk voices were too high-pitched and grating, making it hard to enjoy the song. Additionally, the added sound effects and background music seemed unnecessary and took away from the simplicity of the original. Overall, I would not recommend this version to anyone looking to relive the classic appeal of the original "Witch Doctor."
2. Mark - 3/5 stars
While I enjoyed the energetic performance by Alvin and the Chipmunks in "Witch Doctor Original," I couldn't help but feel like the song lacked originality. The chipmunk voices, although iconic, can become tiresome after a while. Furthermore, the repetitive nature of the tune made it feel monotonous and boring. I appreciate the attempt to bring back a nostalgic song, but I think it fell short of capturing the charm of the original. If you're a fan of Alvin and the Chipmunks, you might enjoy this rendition, but for others, it may not offer much novelty.
3. Sarah - 2/5 stars
"Alvin and the Chipmunks: Witch Doctor Original" was a disappointment for me. The chipmunk voices were annoying and difficult to understand, making it hard to enjoy the lyrics of the song. The music arrangement felt too gimmicky and artificial, and it didn't blend well with the chipmunk voices. I was hoping for a more modern take on the song, but instead, it felt like a cheap cash-grab relying on nostalgia. Overall, I found this version of the "Witch Doctor" song to be underwhelming and would not recommend it to others.
4. Michael - 1/5 stars
I have to say, "Alvin and the Chipmunks: Witch Doctor Original" was a complete letdown. The high-pitched chipmunk voices were grating to my ears and made it nearly impossible to listen to the song. Furthermore, the added background music was repetitive and added nothing to the overall enjoyment. It's disappointing to see a classic song like "Witch Doctor" be butchered in this way. I would advise anyone thinking of listening to this version to instead seek out the original, where the charm and fun are actually present.
