The new day has brought an end to the Science silent treatment. He, Makosi and Kemal have been talking about music this morning - and chipmunks.

After singing the word 'Ghetto', Science sang a few words of Akon's 'Lonely'. "That is Alvin & The Chipmunks. One of those songs that everyone would love," he announced to Kemal and Makosi.

"Is it Alvin?" asked Kemal. "I thought it was just The Chipmunks."

"Jay-Z used chipmunks," said Makosi.

Science fiercely disputed this version of events.

"Don't tell me what he did, because I know," he said. "Akon is the first person to use The Chipmunks in a hip-hop song."

Kemal insisted, "It is not The Chipmunks, it's a 30s song."

Science agreed it might have been a 30s song, but said there was no denying the special sound of The Chipmunks on the track.

Kemal wasn't feeling the track. He had heard it too much while in France. Science enthused about French radio, saying they played "nuff hip-hop" and "in Calais you can still get Westwood."

And it's clearly a country that embraces The Chipmunks too. Happy days.
