'''''Popular Favorites 1976–1992: Sand in the Vaseline''''' is a two-disc compilation album released by [[Talking Heads]] in 1992. It contains two previously unreleased demo recordings ("Sugar on My Tongue," "I Want to Live"), a non-album A-side ("Love → Building on Fire") and B-side ("I Wish You Wouldn't Say That") and three newly finished songs ("Gangster of Love," "Lifetime Piling Up" and "Popsicle"). The latter three tracks were all based on unreleased outtakes from previous studio sessions and had been  finished for exclusive release on this compilation.

The album was also available as a three-disc LP set at the time of release.
The album's title and cover art incorporated the 1974 painting by Ed Ruscha, ''Sand in the Vaseline''.
