Are various artist compilation discs (such as movie soundtracks and NOW CDs) acceptable?

Okay. Thanks for clearing that up, Anth.

The blink-182 song "All The Small Things" is included on the compilation album "Powered By Fender: The Players." Two other songs featured on this compilation ("Walkin' On The Sun" by Smash Mouth, "Semi-Charmed Life" by Third Eye Blind) were included in "Polka Power!"

Bernie was Elton John's songwriting partner.
He rewrote "Candle in the Wind" to tribute Princess Di.
As Puff Daddy retooled "Every Breath You Take" for the same reason
who did "All About the Benjamins" which became All About the Pentiums when Al parodied it.
(I know P Diddy did it for BIG, but during a MTV Awards show that year, he also dedicated it to Tupac and Princess Di. )

Shuler Hensley. (This will be hard to do without copying one link from earlier. I am not counting SNL.) |)

Bernie Taupin is lyricist for Elton John. Elton was a guest on The Nanny once with Fran Drescher. Fran was in UHF with Al

Puff Daddy's retooling of Every Breath You Take had nothing to do with Diana and everything to do with Notorious B.I.G.

Isaid it had todo with Big, but he also dedicated the song to Diana at the MTV Video Awards that year when he did the song with Sting, 112, Faith Evans and a hugh choir.

P.S. Shuler Hensley was in a certain musical with one of my favorite subjects to pick on.

P.S.S. I am planning to post the entire list of subjects tomorrow. We did do a few repeats, but the whole list took three whole pages. :z
