Regarding his cameo in the upcoming Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip, filmmaker and trash-culture icon told the Baltimore Sun that the mischievous rodent has โ€œalways been [his] mentor.โ€ But it goes a little deeper than that.

In an interview with Details in 2008, Waters was asked whether he had any โ€œnormalโ€ fascinations.

โ€œI do love The Chipmunks,โ€ Waters said. โ€œIโ€™m erotically obsessed with Alvin. I talk about that on my Christmas show, how I wanted to have sex with Alvin and the Chipmunks.โ€

Waters then revealed that a โ€œreal animatorโ€ had recently drawn him โ€œoneโ€ (a picture? an animated sequence?) of Alvin in a very private moment. โ€œOne of the best presents I ever got,โ€ he said.

Gee, with all that tension, I sure hope Watersโ€™s on-screen interaction with the animated chipmunk isnโ€™t too awkward.

Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip opens in theaters today.
