The real story behind the "Dramatic Chipmunk"?

Any dumbass knows it was a prairie dog and not a chipmunk, but what people don't know is the back story behind the famous clip. There's been a lot of misleading information saying that it came from a creepy Japanese game show (there's a redundant statement) ((there's another)), but the truth is far more disturbing than that.
