Some,nights, I catch the paid advertisements. Why? Well, I'm a bit of
a sap for the Time-Life/Warner Collections. I mean, c'mon now, 165
Soft Rock hits? Who doesn't love reliving their own sad, sad take on
the 80s? And those 210 Sounds of the SOoooooooooul (with the Bonus
Smooth Midnight Sounds of Jazz) just make ya wanna sex yourself up,
don't they? And oh oh and what about the Doobie Brothers jamming out
China Grove on the Southern Rock Collection? After all, where oh where
else could you find all the unforgettable hits of Bread, Donovan, Air
Supply, Billy Joel, Aaron Neville, Smoky Robinson, Bonnie Tyler, Linda
Ronstadt, America, Peter Frampton, Seals and Croft and oh so many
more? Surely not in the retail stores! Don't go looking for this
collection at your local walmartZ cuz you won't find it there! AND
each collection comes with complete liner notes, and WAIT if you order
now, in the next six minutes we will rush you the greatest
collection of Neal Diamond BUT wait, order now within the next four
minutes with your credit card and checking route numbers and we will
include a complete set of ginsu knives and OH MY FRIGGEN GOD if you
call now, in the next two minutes with your credit card numbers and
your checking/savings account numbers and passwords and include the
deed for your property and your next 12 paychecks, we will
allow you to order all of this for 17 easy payments of only $15.99 and
one difficult payment of $33.33 (and a third). You won't find a deal
like this just anywhere!
The thing is, I like all that sappy song stuff. I can
sing 9 out of 10 of the songs they sample, no matter which collection
is being featured. And then I get "I've been waaaaiting for a
girllllllllll like YOU to come into my liiiiiiiiiife....YES, waiTING
for a girl like you...." stuck in my head.
for days.

Probably didn't help that I was writing about that song! LOL
ReplyDeleteCall me silly. I happen to like those collections 'cause in theory you don't have to have all those albums or CDs.
I so agree! I was up the other night and scanning our new cable system when I hit the soft rock collection and could not turn it off!!! I always loved these songs and having it together is something I know I will buy! I can't help but sound like the commerical itself but I plan to buy a copy for myself!
ReplyDeleteMaking love out of nothing at all..........................
