The Washington Squares was a 1990s group whose premise was to be a tribute and throwback to the early-Sixties folk music boom, particularly the style of Peter, Paul and Mary. It was a side project for members of the Greenwich Village rock scene, and some found it refreshing while others found it twee. This just-released for 2016 track was actually an unreleased performance from their heyday, and I think it falls a bit on the twee side. But it does get points for actually speeding up the voices to get that Chipmunks vibe, though one might note that if that's important to you, might as well grab the original. But that's entirely up to you. Get it from iTunes or stream it from one of the services.
