From 1935 to 1959, Lucky Strike sponsored a popular radio show and subsequent TV show, Your Hit Parade, which associated Lucky Strike cigarettes and smoking with fun, music, dancing, and friends. Your Hit Parade featured popular songs and musicians of the day alongside copious advertisements for the cigarette brand. When the show first aired on television, the program opened up with the following Lucky Strike jingle composed by Raymond Scott:
Be happy, go Lucky, Be happy, go Lucky Strike, Be happy, go Lucky, Go Luck-y Strike to-DAY
Trip back to those days when smoking meant fun (cough, cough) - Lucky Strike ads that said if you are young and a fun person you smoked Luckies:
