Suicide is painless
Suicide is painless [video]
The theme from M*A*S*H as most of you know, has some pretty sad and morbid lyrics. Interestingly, the lyrics were written by the director, Robert Altman's 14-year old son. Altman made $70k for directing and his son made over a million dollars for co-writing the song. picked by 2manyusernames 10 months ago

I remember the first time I heard the words to that song. I never felt the same way about the music as it played for the show again. Haunting. But a good song just the same.

My favorite version of this song is when Stewie sings it while drunk at a bar in the Family Guy Movie Stewie Griffin:The Untold Story. LOL!

Yes, I am terribly depressed. I just don't know if life is worth living... perhaps... maybe if I get some upvotes, I might just find the courage to keep living. :-) :-)

That is it. I just had to change my ringtone on my phone to this song. I just love MASH... PS. Frank Burns eats worms.

Altman's an odd director. I took a class in college devoted to his work specifically. Half his films are amazing: McCabe & Mrs. Miller (1971), Nashville (1975) and The Player (1992) and half are absolute crap: O.C. and Stiggs (1985), Quinet (1979) and Popeye (1980) (though I think that one is genius); there's virtually no middle ground.

EDIT: No idea why wiki won't give me usable urls per above links... W/E.

I know of a version by Manic Street Preachers and while looking for a link to back this up I stumbled across this Wiki page.

Who knew so many people recorded their own version..
