Now That's What I Call Music - The Mesozoic Era



This ad was the K-Tel equivalent of "From you, all right? I learned it from watching you!"

I was once in a radio comedy troupe, and one sketch involved selling a polka record. We absolutely quoted this ad.

As an added bonus, here's an '70s K-Tel ad.
