On this album, Alvin sings a duet with a female character billed as Charlene the Chipette. The origins of the Chipettes can be traced to the 1982 Alvin and the Chipmunks album "The Chipmunks Go Hollywood". These were later revamped by Sandra Berez for The Chipmunk Adventure and the later seasons of the show. The first character designs for the Chipettes were drafted by Corny Cole for their 1983 debut.

In the Japanese language version of the feature film The Chipmunk Adventure, the voices for the Chipettes are provided by Mayumi Suzuki, Mika Doi and Ikue Ōtani. Karman also wrote and voiced the Chipettes' dialogue on all of their studio albums, while studio singers such as Susan Boyd, Shelby Daniel, and Katherine Coon provided their singing voices.
