The Chipmunks Sing the Beatles Hits is a tribute album of Alvin and the Chipmunks singing the hits of the Beatles. It was originally released in 1964 by Liberty Records on vinyl record, and consists of Chipmunk renditions of early Beatles hits.

One single was released from the album ("All My Loving" b/w "Do You Want to Know a Secret?") and a six-song stereo jukebox EP was also issued. On later pressings on the Sunset label and all reissues on vinyl, cassette and compact disc since, the opening guitar chord on the song "Do You Want to Know a Secret?" is partially cut off.

The Chipmunks are not involved in any incidents on the recordings, however, during the instrumental of "Twist and Shout", Dave Seville tells Alvin that his wig is falling off and to fix it, with the sound of Alvin fixing the wig with muffled tones.

Production

For his work on the album, engineer Dave Hassinger won the 1964 Grammy Award for Best Engineered Recording – Special Or Novel Effects.
