What song is the Alvin and the Chipmunks theme song based on?

My friend is trying to figure out what classic song the Alvin and the Chipmunks theme song is based on. Here’s the theme song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EkmnlmtNLo.

I feel like I recognize a few songs in there but can’t put my finger on anything.

I know this is a semi-ridiculous question, but it will drive her crazy if we can’t figure it out. Thanks!
