Oh, man... this must be the K-Tel Vinyl Cheese Hour version of Name that Tune... I know the answer to George's puzzle, but I'm going to let someone else take a shot at it... It's all fun!
As I recall, David Seville himself recorded all the tracks at slow speed and cranked them up to get the Chipmunks' voices. He then must have overlaid his voice (again) at regular speed.
I don't recognize your new song. At least, not yet.

It was played on album oriented stations so that counts. I remember it I just can't think of the song right now

Don't know the title but then I never did like the stones to much. unless it was covered by Flying Burrito brothers also which would make it dead flowers but I think that's another song.

Okay here goes:
I'd love to help the world and all its problems
But I'm an entertainer, and that's all
So the next time there's an asteroid or a natural disaster
I'm flattered that you thought of me
But I'm not the one to call

Well, Dreaming, you seem to have stumped us on two threads simultaneously!

I may have heard it in the gym, but it's not on my favorite radio station!

Probably not on your favorite station nor mine.
Clue:
There is no word to explain this genre.

Ok, saw this once. Gotta be this song William Shatner did..
he's big on these spoken-word songs, and there was some tv show
about him, and I think I saw him do this song there,
now that I was prompted.
(In between stuff on his horses.)
So, I can name the artist, but not the title.
Is that close enough,
or will wasway have to fill us in?

That might do me permanent damage.
As a kid, I think I never recovered from the Star Wars Holiday Special
despite suppressing the memory entirely.

Inspiration has hit.
Ok, next song.....
"Even bad wolves can be good"

Song: Little Red Riding Hood
Artist: Sam the Sham (but it's been redone about a gazillion times)
(I have this on a K-Tel record - if you can believe that!)

I can believe that.
It's also the correct answer.
Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs did this song,
and the Rolling Stones covered it later,
and Bowling for Soup covered it around 2005 for the "Cursed" soundtrack.
Sam the Sham's biggest hit was "Wooly Bully", which should ring a bell.
ChasUFarley, your turn.

"Itsy Bitsy, Teenie Weenie, Yellow Polka dot Bikini" (performed) by Brian Hyland.
I still want a hula hoop.

Fair enough-
but I think the others all picked now to go to the movies or something.
When I see this line, I keep hearing the "Japanese Banana" song with it,
because that's the OTHER song I know well from the group.
This was "Alvin and the Chipmunks",
or "David Saville and the Chipmunks"
(depending on how they're labelling it)
doing "Christmas Don't Be Late".
===========
So, with my muse awake, I submit the next song for The Academy's august consideration....
"I only wish the night was twice as long"

I always wondered how they got those chipmunks to sing...

Don't know how they get the chipmunks to sing, but it sure can get stuck in your head!

When I was a little kid,
we had a record player with a lot of different speeds.
One of the fun things was taking 33 1/3 rpm records and playing them
at 45 rpm and listening to the voices at chipmunk speeds.
Another was playing an Alvin and the Chipmunks record at a slower
speed (I think we had the slowest speed of 12 rpm) and hearing
what the singers' voices sounded like.
Except David Saville, who now sounded odd.
Meanwhile, we DO have another song on the table...
