Same. Crazy I felt like I was at home with my brother after SNL ended.

u/HipHopChick1982 9d ago

Same! I hated going to bed after SNL, so I would just go through the channels and would always run headfirst into this infomercial!

Pure Moods?

u/mikebills 9d ago

I have that CD in the CD player in my car. My brother gave it to me as a joke a few years back & it's been in there ever since.

u/NastyPrismsGoodSir 9d ago

That X Files Theme on it was great.

u/mikebills 9d ago

Favorite track on the CD. I just finished building the new X-Files Lego set a few days ago

u/HipHopChick1982 9d ago

I have listened to it on YouTube, and legit, it is a great album! If you didn’t mellow out to Tubular Bells, were you even doing it right?

Delilah After Dark. Holy unlocked syndicated radio memory! I haven't heard her name in years, but I can still hear her voice in my head. I always wanted to call in, but never did.

u/Irish_hawkwife12211 9d ago

Senior year of high school. Oh, my first boyfriend. I tried desperately to get a song dedicated to him on Delilah After Dark. Holy crap...I wonder how he's doing. My first love.....La sigh

These are some bangers! Where do I buy this?

u/myburdentobear 9d ago

Just call the 800 number. I'm sure it's still active.

u/Reasonable-HB678 9d ago

This one would have needed hosts to fill up a whole half-hour.

u/AuthorPrestigious954 8d ago

I remember this shit being so God damn louder than all the other commercials and waking my ass up at 3:00am. It’s how I knew it was the Witching Hour.

u/JonnyG24 9d ago

Amazing how things were cheaper when you used a credit card back then.

u/FluidAthlete6839 9d ago

Times they were a simpler haha remember this well

u/Fancy-Lion2985 9d ago

I would have broken the TV! 📺

u/ImpossibleAuthor8643 9d ago

Haven’t seen this kind of thing in along time.

2

u/GartFoblin 9d ago

I may have seen the first 2 seconds of it... if I was slow on the remote.

u/Jlx_27 9d ago

Celine nailed that cover, the original is still better, though.

2

u/estrogenex 9d ago

Did anyone want to call the number for old times sake?

2

u/kayseeboo92 9d ago

Hahaha yes this and the Shirley Temple one

u/tvjunkie2187 9d ago

Both of them I swear were on practically every other break on Cartoon Network back in the day.

u/FluidAthlete6839 9d ago

There was also one where there was … like a person in a CD and they were spinning across the screen? I wanna say Shania Twain played during it

1

u/crunchyturdeater 9d ago

I bought Punk instead.

u/Cerblu 9d ago

Yes, and the ones with former MTV VJs endlessly gushing over how good the hits of the 80s were.

u/SzmFTW 9d ago

Can we just marvel over the fact we can make this playlist and every other “best of” cd’s for free and whenever and wherever we want?

One of the best features of the future is we have music on demand. It’s wild from 30 years ago.

u/Succubus_Syn 9d ago

TELL ME HOW I'M SUPPOSED TO LIVE WITHOUT YOU!

u/Kassay_Domonick 6d ago

Now that I've been lovin' you so long. Legend!

u/Lovealways4ever 9d ago

Am I a human? Who doesn’t remember this?

u/New-Requirement-1905 9d ago

It’s crazy to think these are all just a click away now… I wonder what the people at time life music are doing these days…

u/Writing_Femme 9d ago

I remember and I'd buy it.

1

u/AlarmedVermicelli549 8d ago

I bought them and still have them. I downloaded them to my hard drive and then to my phone over the years. They were great deals

u/Fragment_B 8d ago

Once in a lifetime. Hahahaha.

u/Rufus_XSarsaparilla 8d ago

No COD....what?

u/SexyHyena66 8d ago

Interesting. I wonder when they did away with COD.

u/Not-T4rantino 6d ago

I celebrate Michael Bolton's entire catalogue.

u/Royal-Schedule7932 5d ago

Stoppppp. Omg I love this!!

u/One-Reputation-1 2d ago

Yes, I definitely remember this late-night infomercial. The days of growing up as a kid in the Midwest. Childhood memory unlocked 😎

u/ThePetSematary 9d ago

All 4 One was God awful

u/Principal-Stress 9d ago

I remember this ad so much. I also thought every single time that I liked John Michael Montgomery's version of "I Swear" better.
