The Smurfs Go Pop!

1

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. Versions of "Roll with It", "Wonderwall" and "Some Might Say" by British rock band Oasis were planned to be included on the album, but were refused by the band's parent record company Sony Music Entertainment. Oasis musician Noel Gallagher stated, "We hated the Smurfs as kids, I'm not letting a bunch of blue guys in white hats touch our stuff."
