Format:Audio CD
The Smurfs Go Pop is a groundbreaking record, made up of effortlessly thought-provoking pop songs that inspired much of the great music from the nineties. Sparking off Britpop in tremendous fashion and famously being the only record that both Blur and Oasis agreed was "One of the greatest recordings in music history".

The first track "Smurfs Are Back" sets the bar of excellence inconceivably high, a track that would later be parodied by '2 Unlimited' to disastrous effect. Many citing this musical faux-par as one of the contributing factors towards 2 Unlimited front-man Ray Slijngaard's following assassination.

Other Highlights are "The Noisy Smurf" (co-written with Icelandic Heavy metal band Björk) and "Smurfing World" ( A protest song against the Gulf War, which was famously be banned in every Western supporting country, The chorus contains 13 different curse words "each more inflammatory than the next")

However, perhaps as a result of government censorship The Smurfs have been almost completely overlooked in recent years. Despite many high publicity cover versions by other bands such as The Libertines cover of The Smurf's song "Don't Look Back into the Smurf" and the more recent Rihanna cover of "Smurfbrella". Although many say that this trend is likely to change after the release of the upcoming Quentin Tarantino Film 'The Smut of The Smurfs' documenting the events leading up to Papa Smurfs Murder Trial and following drug overdose.
