David Seville "The Chipmunk Song (Christmas Don't Be Late)" (Nominated)

1959 Record of the Year

"The Chipmunk Song" didn't win this category, though this incredibly irritating tune did pick up three other awards at the inaugural Grammys. But its inclusion in this songwriting category is nonetheless unconscionable, especially when placed beside fellow nominees Peggy Lee's "Fever," Perry Como's "Catch a Falling Star," Frank Sinatra's "Witchcraft" and eventual (thank goodness) winner Domenico Modugno's "Volare."
