  • I saw "real voices" videos for some other songs from the movie and, in my opinion, this song was the best one. So I changed the pitch to sound like real voices without hurting the quality too much. If you never saw the Chipmunk movie in the 80s when you were a kid, I'm very sorry because that movie was awesome. This song is from the animated film, The Chipmunk Adventure, released in 1987.
    Lyrics:
    We don't have to do what you tell us to do no more
    You get what you need and you don't want it anymore
    We don't cry now, we don't know how
    We heard what you said and we don't believe a word you say
    The hill is a high one but we'll climb it anyway
    There's no doubt, you'll find out
    We're the ones on the run, we're the girls, we're the diamond dolls
    It's a ravenous world and the ceiling is very tall
    There's a weight and a climb and a ladder and many fall
    But the cream of crop never stops, we're the diamond dolls
    A girl shouldn't sit in the corner and wait for life
    Some girls like to go out looking for paradise
    You'll find out, you had it anyway
    Don't look down, no matter what they say
    You do what you do and you try not to break the law
    A girl hits her mark when she don't look ahead too far
    There's no doubt, you're gonna get it all
    You'll find out, everything you want
    Give a hand to the girls who go after the diamond dolls
    It's a ravenous world and the ceiling is very tall
    There's a river that curls to the sea and it's very long
    But the cream of the crop never stop, not the diamond dolls
    Silver, platinum, I pass on them
    You can have them, I know what I want
    We're the ones on the run, we're the girls, we're the diamond dolls
    It's a ravenous world and the ceiling is very tall
    There's a weight and a climb and a ladder and many fall
    But the cream of crop never stops, we're the diamond dolls

      I find it bizarre that there are so many random covers of everything on YT but few to no covers of TCA songs. Stuff like this, Girls of Rock and Roll and Get Lucky are legit banger songs, nostalgia aside. And yeah, Diamond Dolls was my favourite too.

    I feel a little bit crazy saying this, but...I think these are actually pretty great lyrics. I think this is the rare "cartoon" song that's good enough to be a "real" pop song. I mean, Cyndi Lauper could have sung this. Or Belinda Carlisle, or somebody like that.

    • @NotOrdinaryInGames

      you are SO very right on re Belinda Carlisle doing this...the GoGos would've had a hit with it. Lauper would've been great on this to ala Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.
      This song is an anthem for every little girl. Tomorrow is HER world.
      Carlisle did record a song by the same writer Donna weis who wrote Diamond Dolls titled "The Air You Breathe" back in the 90's. It's on her greatest hits cd

    Well, the son of the creator of the Chipmunks and his wife funded the film basically by themselves. Ross Bagdasarian Sr was the creator of the Chipmunks but sadly passed away in 1972. His son, Ross Bagdasarian Jr, took over in 1979, 7 years later with with wife, Janice Karman and has done so ever since.

Smuggling, adventure, bad cops, sacrifices, a harem, a very seductive sounding song with snakes, and Miss Miller. Can’t beat it! If this was made now in 2024, this song would slap so much!

      @@stroudkitten not really. That's why they say it's "very tall" they also mention how a girl shouldn't "sit in the corner and wait for life" imo this is saying that they "know what they want" and can achieve it. And they know they can achieve it because even "the cream of the crop [will] never stop the Diamond Dolls"

    Diamond Dolls Alvin & The Chipmunks -
    Words and music Donna Weiss, Elysee Alexander
    From original soundtrack from the movie The Chipmunk Adventure
    We don't have to do
    What you tell us
    To do no more...
    You get what you need
    And you don't need it anymore
    Well…
    We don't cry now
    We don't know how
    We heard what you said
    And we don't believe a word you say
    The hill is a high one but we'll Climb it anyway
    There's no doubt
    You'll find out
    [Chorus:]
    We're the ones on the run
    We're the girls we're the diamond dolls
    It's a ravenous world
    And the Ceiling is very tall
    There’s a wait and a climb up the ladder and many fall
    But the cream of crop never stop
    We're the diamond dolls!!!!
    A girl shouldn’t sit in the corner and wait for life
    Some girls like to go out looking for Paradise!
    You'll find out.... You had it anyway
    So don't look down.... No matter what they say
    You do what you do
    And you try not to break the law
    A girl hits her mark when she don't think ahead too far...
    There’s no doubt you’re gonna get it all
    You'll find out... everything you want
    So give a hand to the girls who go after IT
    The diamond dolls
    It's a ravenous world and the Ceiling is very tall
    There’s a river that curls to the sea and it’s very long
    But the cream of the crop never stop Not the diamond dolls
    “Silver Platinum, I pass on them
    You can have them, I know what I want”
    We’re the ones on the run we’re the GIRLS, we’re the Diamond Dolls
    It’s a ravenous world and the ceiling is very tall
    There’s a wait and a climb
    Up the ladder and many fall
    But the cream of crop never stop
    We’re the diamond dolls!!!!
