[Wilson Gray]

Has anyone else os sufficient maturity noticed the use of the phrase,
"lucky-strike extra," in a recent Yahoo! commercial. Back in the
'Forties and early 'Fifties, Lucky Strike cigarettes sponsored a radio
and, later, a television show featuring the seven most popular songs
of the week. When a song out of the top seven was sung or played (Axel
Stordahl & The Lucky Strike Orchestra!), it was called a "Lucky Strike
extra."
