Has anyone else seen these commercials so many times that you remember lyrics from different songs together like they are one?
One of my favorites that I've always remembered was:
Billy, don't be a hero, don't be a fool with your life. We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun.

Surprisingly can't remember instances of lyrics running together.
However, I clearly remember "Workin' at the car wash" as an utter chode of a human being made a ridiculous face and pretended to be buffing a car. Even as a kid, something about that guy made me want to slap that look off his face.

I love these commercials, they are where I learned a lot of song artists and I knew in those 4 second or so clips if I was going to actually like the song.
Let's see, if I remember correctly:"You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name/I heard my momma cry, I heard her pray the night Chicago died"

Never bought one of the Time Life Collections, but I own 95% of the old school R&B/Soul one they advertise.

One I remember most was for a hair metal compilation and it transitioned Ratt's "Round and Round" into Warrant's "Cherry Pie":
"What goes around comes around, I'll tell you why/She's my cherry pie..."

They always seem to have at least one song that doesn't belong, like "Love Train" by the O'Jays on the "Freedom Rock" commercial

Let's see, if I remember correctly:"You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name/I heard my momma cry, I heard her pray the night Chicago died" That's one of the others that I remember! One of the funnier compilations was a recent 70s set. It was 10 discs and I happened to catch the 30 minute version of the infomercial one night. So I'm watching all these songs go by and I go "wow, there's A LOT of one hit wonders on this. It would be easier for me to count the non-one hit wonders haha." and then 5 minutes later they have the nerve to say "And if you order now....we'll include a bonus disc of the best 70s One Hit Wonders." |

Yeah, that's happened a few times actually.
For years, the only Alabama songs I know are in order from the way they are in this commercial (which used to air all the time during shows like WCW Saturday Night):

I have a feeling they just called all the big acts in one day and they stood in line while the artist(s) ahead of them recorded their spot. |

And my mind now wanders to a segment of the MST3K ep "Tormented" with all the "Sessions Presents" jokes.

I don't remember song's together like that, but i almost always stop on the Time Life commrcials and watch it untill it end's even though it loop's after like 10 minutes  |
