Dramatic Chipmunk

Dramatic Chipmunk is a popular five second video clip, which features a 'chipmunk' (in actuality a prairie dog) turning its head while the camera zooms in and dramatic music is played. The clip became known throughout the internet through uploads on both Youtube and CollegeHumour in June 2007.

The clip is originally from a Japanese television show 'Hello! Morning'. CollegeHumour has also released a longer clip known as 'Undramatic Chipmunk'; which features the original footage from the show and how it looks without the music used.

The music used in the clip is taken from the 1974 Mel Brooks film Young Frankenstein, which was composed by John Morris, an oscar winning composer. The 'Chipmunk' turns its head and stares at the camera while the music is played.

Since its release, the video has received over thirty million views.
