Not a song title...

but Donald Fagen sang the immortal line "I've got plenty of java and Chesterfield Kings" on The Nightly.

Patrick Crowther | 18 March 2010 - 6:53pm

maybe Tom Waits is the master here

'Eggs roll 'em over and a packet of Kents'
'I've got half a pack o' Lucky Strikes, so come along with me'
are just two that spring to mind.

Sweet Afton

by Rabbie, covered memorably by Nickel Creek is the best real one I can think of.

I used to smoke them, thinking it was sophisticated and cool. Which of course, it was.

The song's about the river anyway, but hey ho.

Was it not Billy Ocean who sang...

...'Get out of my dreams, Gitanes to my car'?

Or Elvis Presley's lovelorn ballard, 'You Are Gauloises On My Mind'.

Blazer donned, exit located.

Do The 'Strand' ?

Strand cigarettes is the classic case study of a brand campaign that hit the wrong note.
I can't find a clip of it, but the shot was of a man standing on a dark and deserted street, lighting up. The slogan was "You're never alone with a Strand".
