    not real haha. Aside from “luck be in the air tonight” not being a phrase I’ve ever heard anyone say in any context, it doesn’t make sense as the solution because the “i” in “in” and also “tonight” is already revealed yet it isn’t for the word “air” (must admit I didn’t notice this, until I saw it pointed out).

      It’s a portmanteau of the lyrics “Luck be a lady tonight” and “I can feel it calling in the air tonight” which is why it feels just familiar enough to seem real, but not actually.

      This would be in the category “before and after” where the middle of the puzzle ends one saying and begins another. The solve would be “tuck me in” along with “in the air tonight”.
