"Smiley Faces" is a song by Gnarls Barkley and is featured on their debut album, St. Elsewhere. It was released 17 July 2006 as the second single from that album in the United Kingdom (see 2006 in British music).

In the music video, a music historian (played by Dennis Hopper) and an A&R executive (played by Dean Stockwell) are interviewed about whether or not Gnarls Barkley (the person) exists and if he's behind the music scene. The video shows musical acts and cultural events from the 1920s to the 1990s, with Cee-Lo and producer Danger Mouse in the background. The effect is similar to that of Woody Allen editing himself into archival film footage in Zelig.

The song entered the UK Official Download Chart on 3 May 2006 at number 152 and is climbed the chart until its peak at number 12 on 9 August 2006. It then entered the UK Singles Chart on July 16, 2006 at number 23 based on download sales alone, climbing to number 10 after the physical release was available.
