Here in the US, radio stations treated citizens to decades of Tony Bennet singing the song "Put On a Happy Face". It was from a 1960 musical called 'Bye Bye Birdie'. By some magical coincidence, just a year later the black-on-yellow 'Happy Face' (Smiley) was introduced by the 'Good Guys' on NYC radio and used on badges for an insurance company. Because it's early in the morning, I also wonder if there are other countries where the phrase "wipe that smile off your face" means you're in danger.
