Popular Favorites 1976–1992: Sand in the Vaseline is a two-disc compilation album by American rock band Talking Heads, released 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 last three tracks were all based on unreleased outtakes from previous studio sessions and had been finished for exclusive release on this compilation.
The album's title and cover art incorporated the 1974 painting by Ed Ruscha, Sand in the Vaseline. It was also available as a three-disc LP set at the time of release.
