Back in the Day, 1999: 

Various artists   

Swing Out to Victory!   Four-disc set

(Platinum)

Just back in the U.S. of A. from carrying a carbine in the Big One, the crew-cutted, erstwhile gravel agitator surveyed the ballroom from behind a rum-and-cola: Khaki-wacky tomatoes and ducky shincrackers truckin' around the totem pole. The entire place shook to musicalizing perpetrated by axe-choppers cookin' with premium, and decked out in glad rags sharp enough to stun Sugar City.

A victory-rolled, satin-swathed glamour dish swung to his elbow. "What's buzzin', cousin?"

GI Joe drank in her getwaway sticks before gazing into her baby blues. "I was thinking...protecting killer dillers like you was what over there was all about!"
