Hopscotch Lollipop Sunday Surprise is a studio album by The Frogs, released in 2001. Although brushing on satirical homoerotic and religious themes, the album chiefly consists of serious love songs. Musically, the album features heavy electric guitars, acoustic guitars ,and industrial/electronic beats mixed. There is also a cover of Bob Dylan's 1973 song, "Billy 1". Hopscotch is considerably better-produced than most of the Frogs' material, which can sometimes be no more than home recordings. Scratchie Records released the album in early 2001 but cut further distribution after weak initial sales, much to the band's disgust.
