The meaning and story of Jaci Velasquez's version of "The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late)" is a lighthearted and humorous take on the original song by The Chipmunks. In the song, Jaci Velasquez, alongside Alvin, Simon, and Theodore, playfully interacts with the Chipmunks while attempting to sing the Christmas song. The lyrics reflect the playful banter between Jaci and the Chipmunks as they try to communicate compliments to each other in Spanish. The Chipmunks, particularly Alvin, struggle with their Spanish skills, leading to funny misunderstandings and comedic moments. Throughout the song, Jaci tries to encourage the Chipmunks to focus on singing the song rather than attempting Spanish compliments. Despite the comedic interruptions, they eventually all come together to sing the catchy chorus of the original song. The main theme of the song is the anticipation and excitement for Christmas, expressing the desire for toys, fun, and holiday cheer. While the original Chipmunks song was released in 1958, Jaci Velasquez's version adds a fresh and playful twist to the classic Christmas tune.
