The Smurfs Go Pop! is an album of songs by The Smurfs, released in 1996. Most of the songs are cover versions of existing songs with altered lyrics.

Some of the songs function as simple Smurf sing-alongs ("Smurfs are Back") while others have more of an apparent satirical intent ("The Noisy Smurf"). "I've Got a Little Puppy" was released as a single in the UK and achieved a Top 10 placing.

[edit] Track listing

  1. "Smurfs Are Back" – based on "No Limit" by 2 Unlimited. The repeated chant "no, no" from the original song is replaced with "yeah, yeah" leading to a climax of "Smurfs are back, yeah!"
  2. "Mr Smurftastic" - based on "Mr Boombastic" by Shaggy.
  3. "I've Got a Little Puppy" - based on "I Wanna Be a Hippy" by Technohead. The high-pitched dance vocals of the original are replaced to comical effect with a more innocent tale about a dog. The high point of the remake is the refrain of "pooper, pooper scooper!"
  4. "The Noisy Smurf" - based on "It's Oh So Quiet" by Björk. The alternating loud and soft vocals of the original are ideal for this tale of a noisy Smurf who pops up to disturb the peace.
  5. "Find the Smurf" - based on "Love Is All Around" by Wet Wet Wet. The new version's lyrics bear almost no resemblance to the Wet Wet Wet hit, other than "We've looked all around" planted in the chorus.
  6. "Smurfland" - based on "Who The Fuck Is Alice" by Roy 'Chubby' Brown. A somewhat dangerous choice to cover on a children's album, this replaces the profanity with "Whereabouts is Smurfland?"
  7. "Our Smurfing Party" - based on "Saturday Night" by Whigfield.
  8. "Don't Stop Smurfing" - based on "Don't Stop (Wiggle Wiggle)" by Outhere Brothers.
  9. "Smurfhillbilly Joe" - based on "Cotton Eye Joe" by Rednex.
  10. "We're the Smurfs" - based on "Alright" by Supergrass.
  11. "Smurfland Olympics"
  12. "Smurfing Ways"
  13. "Mr Blobby and the Smurfs" - based on "Mr Blobby" by Mr Blobby.
  14. "Football Forever"
  15. "Smurfing World"
