Trip to Trumpton is a dance track released by the group Urban Hype in the early 1990's. It followed a short lived trend of basing dance tracks upon audio sampling from various TV shows of the previous few decades; other examples of this included the tracks Sesames Treet by Smart E's. In this case, the track features audio snippets from late 60's children's show Trumpton, and the video also makes several visual references to this show.

The track's lyrics consist solely of quotes lifted directly from the show that inspired it. The video opens with music taken from the show before becoming more traditionally dance based.

The fast paced editing is common for such a fast, upbeat track, and their are visual links with elements of 60's culture and style. The video includes performance footage, notably mixed with deliberately surreal clips
