Sidenote: "Armen's Theme" was composed and first recorded in 1956 by Ross Bagdasarian, Sr., an Armenian immigrant that enlisted in the United States Army one month after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and served until the end of World War II. Bagdasarian performed on Broadway in the cast of The Time of Your Life, and his first songwriting success was the song "Come on-a My House", recorded by Rosemary Clooney.

He played minor roles in films, the best known is his appearance in Alfred Hitchcock's 1954 murder mystery Rear Window. Bagdasarian portrayed a piano-playing songwriter who composes, plays, and sings the song "Lisa". His character lives in an apartment opposite the protagonist's; in keeping with the screenplay's theme of social voyeurism, his dialogue is never clearly heard, and he appears only in long shots, sometimes seen through a window. He stands next to Hitchcock in his signature cameo appearance. Bagdasarian had small parts in The Greatest Show on Earth, Viva Zapata!, Destination Gobi, Stalag 17, Alaska Seas, The Proud and Profane, Three Violent People, Hot Blood, The Deep Six, and The Devil's Hairpin.

In 1956, Bagdasarian had a moderate hit with a novelty record "The Trouble with Harry", the same title as Alfred Hitchcock's comedy-thriller that year. He wrote "The Ballad of Colin Black", a tie-in song to The Proud and Profane. According to his son, Ross Bagdasarian, Jr., his dad was down to his last $200 when he spent $190 on a V-M tape recorder that would let him vary tape speeds and he experimented with the development of three imaginary creatures for another novelty record. Under the pseudonym David Seville, he scored a number-one hit in the summer of 1958 with his first experiment with speeding an audio track to get distinctive, squeaky, high-pitched voices introducing Alvin and the Chipmunks with the song "Witch Doctor". By the 1958 Christmas season he released "The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late)", for which he won two Grammy Awards in 1959: Best Comedy Performance and Best Recording for Children. Bagdasarian named the three Chipmunk characters after record executives: Simon Waronker, Ted Keep (Theodore), and Alvin Bennett.

He continued to compose and record both as Ross Bagdasarian and David Seville and achieved a legacy that continues to the present. He died of a heart attack on January 16, 1972, eleven days before his 53rd birthday.

Chet Atkin's first recorded "Armen's Theme" after hearing a vocal version of the song called, "Yesterday And You", recorded by Bobby Vee in 1963, bought the rights and restored it to the original guitar instrumental.
