Found at the end of one of my Betamax tapes, this one's a wondrously corny batch of commercials. I was personally amazed at how many of these I remembered.

Have You Ever Seen The Rain? (Soundalike Cover - 1972) - Duration: 2 minutes, 15 seconds.
From the QMO release, "18 Golden Hits of 1971". The singer here somehow out-constipates John Fogerty's vocal stylings.

Mama Told Me (Not To Come) (Soundalike Cover - 1971) - Duration: 2 minutes, 55 seconds.
From the QMO release, "18 Golden Hits of 1970". I love how the intro is so botched that it's rendered nearly unrecognizable.

HBO Post-Movie Break (Late August/Early September 1981) - Duration: 3 minutes, 2 seconds.
