WWII TRivia:

Name that Tune

In 1945 the Andrews Sisters: Patty, Maxine & Laverne, recorded a song that immediately rocketed to the top of the charts but
was banned by network radio stations because it mentioned an alcoholic beverage. The fact that it mentioned a commercial product by name also meant that it could be construed as free advertising when broadcast. Later resurrected the song returned to the top of the charts again and was a winner for many months.

I wonder if the Andrew Sisters got any payola from coca-cola?
A catchy tune, I never knew their was any controversy.

Jim got "Yank" right. I only knew about it from reading Ernie Pyle's books.
