Toonage is the debut studio album by Danish band Cartoons, released on 24 September 1998.[1] The album inside keeps the group's biggest hit "Witch Doctor", a cover version of Ross Bagdasarian's novelty song from 1958. The single reached #2 on the UK Singles Chart. The album's first single, "DooDah!", adapted from the American folk song "Camptown Races", was a big hit also in several countries, including Denmark, where it reached #3 on the Danish charts. The album's fifth single, "Aisy Waisy", was a Top 20 hit. The album reached Top 10 in the national charts of Denmark, Italy, Portugal and Spain.
