This hilarious commercial for a 90s mail-order punk CD is for a compilation with hardly any punk music on it.

"Mickey" by Toni Basil is the punk anthem no one acknowledged.

While this is not punk rock I would've loved to have owned this CD back in the day. So up the alley of my 21 year old self

"Hardly any" punk?! Zero, zip, zilch. It is, however, a *great* compendium of rock, pop, and new wave from the era.

I went with hardly any because a lot of those new wave bands might have crossed over at some point/played punk shows, you know?

We had so few choices in the 90's. If you weren't near a good record store, you really had to work to get/find good music. We will never go back!
