Smurf Hits Cover Albums



Sorry for the constant cover complaints, but I guess it's just a fact of life that such projects and franchises make up for many of musical crimes out there. This little rant is against the long series of Smurf cover albums targetted towards children, or rather their parents. These are albums with hits covers where the songs sound like they're being sung by the smurfs.

When I was a kid, I loved listening to music, even if it wasn't smurfified. Why do some parents seem to think that a song has to be dumbed down to a stupid parody before it can be served to children? Are children really only able to appreciate the laughably bad? I don't think so.

I'm not sure how popular these are in the rest of the world, but in Norway, it seems there's at least one new smurf release every year. One thing is certain; my kids are not gonna listen to smurf hits
