Chipmunked

Chimpmunking is just a plain amazing art in which you take a PERFECTLY good song, or just a plain miserable song, and make it PLAIN EPIC by twisting around the pitch and speed levels. It's usually done to imitate the effect of (human) female vocals, although sometimes also done to simulate the effect of "Chipmunk" sounds... (This is also how they produce Britney Spears and Alvin & The Chipmunks Singles)

I got a couple of samples on my twt.fm profile, check it out. Want to know how it's done? Well, I got the audio file (.mp3, .avi, .aac, .m4a, most common audio formats) and ran it through WavePad Sound Editor... There's an option of "Pitch and Speed" in the upper corner (or just Pitch and just Speed if you're more risky)... Pitch usually does it itself but it sometimes gets cracky.

Basically, you increase the pitch and the speed of the audio file, and if you want to decrease it, well... That's how you get boar sounds and all that good stuff.
