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-a-longs ("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 reached number 4 in the Official UK Top 40 Single Charts in September 1996.[1]
Track listing
"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!"
"I've Got a Little Puppy" – based on "
I Wanna Be a Hippy" by
Technohead. The high-pitched dance vocals of the original, containing blatant drug references, 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!"
"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.
"Find the Smurf" – based on "
Love Is All Around" by
The Troggs. 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.
"Smurfland" – based on 1972 song "
Living Next Door To Alice" by Australian group
New World. The song has been covered by a number of acts including Smokie and Roy Chubby Brown
