One of the records in my recently acquired collection is an old Smurfs record dating back to at least 1979 or 1980 entitled Smurfing Sing Song. This was before the Smurfs found fame as a TV cartoon in the 1980s, and, boy, is my vinyl of the album ever scratched up. It's barely playable.
However, thanks to the wonder and the mysteries of the Internet, I was able to track down a digital download of the album here. Boy, I have to say that listening to it (I've been only able to tolerate about two songs off of it) sure makes my teeth hurt. I can only wonder about my taste in music as a kid, because, boy, was it sure crappy. There's even a reference in one of the songs to Smurf beer. That's right. Beer. Those Smurfs sure were drunken alcoholics before they went into rehab and came out as a cartoon for kids. I have to wonder if the creators were targeting adults with the reference. Who knows?
