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 achieved a Top 10 placing.

In 1997, EMI released the album in Australia and New Zealand, but with a somewhat different track listing:
