Toonage is the debut album by the Danish band Cartoons, released on 24 September 1998. The album includes the group's biggest hit, "Witch Doctor", a cover version of Ross Bagdasarian's novelty song from 1958, which reached number 2 on the UK Singles Chart. The album's first single, "DooDah", adapted from the American folk song "Camptown Races", was a hit also in several countries, including Denmark, where it reached number 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.

An expansion of the album, titled More Toonage, was released in 1999. Besides other versions of "Witch Doctor" and "DooDah" in other languages and a few other extras, it includes the tracks from "The X-Mas Single".
