Ask a kid to sing the Chipmunk song and "Christmas, Christmas time is here" will resound loudly, but how about Groundhog Day?  (The only day on the calendar that celebrates rodents!)

Today February 2nd, is the day we wait with grand anticipation to see if we are saddled with another six weeks of winter, or if spring in all it's glory will make an early arrival.

Sure Punxsutawney Phil gets most of the glory on this day (assuming of course he doesn't see his shadow), but how about the rest of his buck tooth cousins?

This year make a date with your kids and some rodents.   Alvin, Simon, Theodore and the Chipettes are ready and waiting for you to watch them square off on the Wii and Nintendo DS in Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel.

You may be the winner as the whole Super Duper Dome watches the two trios test their rhythm.

The backdrops include 25 concert locations on the Wii and 11 on the Nintendo DS in cities like the Big Apple, a skip over the pond in London, and down under in Sydney.  Featuring the Grammy Award and American Music Award winning songs from the Alvin and the Chipmunks library, you might want to give it a try alongside your kids, but don't worry they have a normal mode along with an expert one! 

Here are a few other things you may want to know about this game:

1. Prove you have rhythm and timing in the main game and in 3 micro-games utilizing the Wii Remote and Nunchuk with Wii and stylus with Nintendo DS
2. Multiplayer Party mode lets you play as your favorite Chipmunk or Chipette and compete locally with up to 2 friends on Wii and collaborate locally with up to 3 friends on Nintendo DS
3. Play your favorite unlocked songs while watching the music videos in Jukebox Mode
4. Earn attendance records by filling stadiums with thousands of adoring fans

One of you will win an Alvin & The Chipmunks: The Squeakquel Nintendo DS game (arv $29.99)

To enter tell me which one of the Chipmunks or Chipettes is your favorite.
