Are there any songs you learned of becuase it was featured on a compliation album commercials. CAC's are like "Time Life's Greatest Love Songs" , The Best of The 80's music!", or "Body And Soul: Volume 11"

I saw You Keep Me Hangin On by Kim Wilde on a CAC and I fell in love with it. They showed a part of the video(actually like 10 seconds of the video) and they showed her in front and this man who lookks WAY older than she does in the background and he kind of looked like Michae does in Rock With You.

I learned of "The Promise" by When In Rome from a CAC. I loved that song.

I learned of She Drives My Crazy by Fine Young Cannibals from a CAC and I was confused when I saw the FYC and saw only white people. In the video(the 10 second clip), a black man was singing.

I didn't like the song too much.

Janice Johnson, there are quite a few songs I learned from compilation commercials. Until I saw one in 2000 featuring "Lady Marmalade" by LaBelle, I always thought of it as the "Voulez-Vous song."

Fortunately for me they flashed the title on the screen while a piece of it played.

Generally, compilation commercials are my favorite kind of commercials!
