Where the Chipmunks dance comes from
The sound is the Chipmunksā cover of Dead or Aliveās "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)" (the 1985 original), sung in the 2009 film Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel (IMDb soundtrack). On TikTok it runs as "original sound - Spotifyremixes_", and trios started dancing a short routine to it in October 2026, often in Chipettes costumes for Halloween.
The biggest take we found, "Dancing runs in the fam" (@athenaa_c, 17 October), had 21.7 million plays on 4 November. The Chipmunks dance AI here follows a calmer one: three adult dancers in a bright studio by @dancebythreejs, 1 November, with no costumes or captions in the way.
The Chipmunks dance AI video keeps that takeās timing and sound and redraws each dancer from your photos. It is an independent tool with no tie to the Chipmunks, Dead or Alive, the creators above, TikTok or CapCut.
