Subject: Help me find a newspaper cartoon- reference to the band SWEET
Written By: KKay on 08/11/08 at 1:15 pm
Recently there was a cartoon in a newspaper that i'm dying to get my hands on. It showed a SWAT team outside a place called "Ballroom Lounge".
The SWAT chief and his men are behind the SWAT van and he asks: Are you ready Steve? Andy? Mick? Ok fellas, let's go!"
It was funny. I got it.
I want a copy.

Well, I can't help you with that... as much as I'd like to, because it sounds like a great editorial cartoon.
It's probably here or here, however. The archives are indexed both by news-story and by date. If you can remember approximately when you saw it, and/or if it was in a local or national newspaper, you can probably figure out which (usually one or two per week nationally, should be easy to figure it out if it was a local paper) botched raid prompted the cartoon, and those two pieces of information should get you to the right part of the archive. And even if you page through hundreds of cartoons and still don't find the one you're looking for, you'll still have a good time.
But I can point out that the cover of "Ballroom Blitz" that included the lyrics "We'll take Russia by Monday / Tuesday we'll get the Japanese!" was by the SoCal punk band D.I., and was on the 1987 compilation Rat Music for Rat People.

that's awesome, thanks for finding it. I looked high and low myself, but to no avail. the intro to the song is so funny, I mean the responses from each band member when asked if they are ready. "yeah, uh huh, okay" well all right fellas. let's gooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!
and here's the original video since we're dwelling on Sweet 8)
