When I was a kid, my "cool" older cousins always used to listen to AC/DC and there's a song on Back In Black
(Givin' The Dog A Bone) that I used to believe had something to do with the smurfs. When they sang the chorus, I thought they were singing "Give it to Gargamo! Yeah! Give it to Gargamo!" I thought Gargamo must have been Gargamel's brother or something and that whatever "it" was, it would surely spell doom for the smurf way of life.
