One of the annoying TV series tunes that won't get out of your head is the theme from M*A*S*H.
Johnny Mandel's music and lyrics by Mark Altman have been revered by suicide-advocates worldwide :D :
Through early morning fog I see
visions of the things to be
the pains that are withheld for me
I realize and I can see...
'Cause suicide is painless
it brings on many changes
and I can take or leave it if I please.
...and you can do the same thing if you choose.
Lyrics to the M*A*S*H theme song, "Suicide is Painless":
Inspirational musicto many who have chosen the easy way out, rather than fight?

It proves again that jewry is a death cult.
The war in Korea was against communism, so the jews were against that war. ZOG TV would never do a new MASH based on the war for kikery in Iraq.

During the frst season they actually had a voice singing the words. Then they just used the music. Which is stuck in your head, the music or lyrics?
I agree 999, death cult.

it goes out of your head if you havent seen it for years. all I can remember is that hawknose, or hawkeye, whatever, jewboy alan alda whining. him and drunkards are cool, the WASP guy is a sissy, the intelligence guy is a fascist. total jewcrap pooped out into young minds. the only hint of truth is that war is hell and korea was a farce. twenties-- Red Threat. thirties-- warmed up to USSR. Forties-- Uncle Joe ally. Fifties-- Red Threat again.
If we'd have given Hitler a pass and stayed out of the war, England would have sued for peace, and Hilter would have stomped the shit out of the Bolsheviks and the Japs would still have ruled Korea. No Korea, good 50,000 or so mostly White lives saved.

Alda was annoying. Not to nitpick, but he's a gentile of Italian ancestry.
Oh. Well, he always plays a jew in the movies. And a wuss. The schnozz helps.
I noticed in the Passion, the extras were all Italian.
I dont hold that against Italians that they share a similarity to the stereotypical Sephardi. Or anybody else. The Jew is a parasitic chameleon to his social host.

His mother was Jewish and he's married to a Jew. How dare you try to claim that such a wonderful actor is a goy. Only a Jew could play Hawkeye with such perfection, such skill, such Jewishness.

Henry (Arthur Fonzarelli) Winkler is a Jew. Why do you think Adam Sandler keeps giving him cameos in his movies? He didn’t even look Italian I don’t know why they cast him on Happy Days. There was one episode where he was blind and praying and said “I thought I was your favorite” you know chosen one get it? If that didn’t ring the bells nothing will.

Alan Alda doesn’t have creative bone in his body. His character Hawkeye is just a carbon copy of jew Groucho Marx. I don’t recall the Hawkeye character from the book MASH, which is what the movie and series were based on, being so jewish.
The TV show reeked of anti war sentiments, the book didn’t have the same flavor as I recall. It was just a story of two doctors that went to war and how they dealt with it. And how they dealt with it which was, work like the devil to save lives in the OR and party like the devil on their off time so that they would forget the horrors of war that they saw in the OR. The movie itself had a hard time conveying the true feel of the book.

Yes, it will. You need to take the antidote, which is the theme music from The Waltons.

There is one verse before this one and several after it. They might be on the web somewhere.

Jenab is correct Methinks :
The full mashed Highland version is sung to bagpipe accompaniment to this day here in my part of the Cruithin' heartlands and includes the followin' mournful Lyrics:
Through early morning fog I see
Visions of the things to be,
The bairns that are withheld from me,
I scran and scrather there to see...
That suicide at Loch Ness,
It brings out many changes
And 'Oots, I can take or leave it, at Dumfries.
The game of life is hard och' Aye,
I'm going to lose it anyway,
The losing card I'll some day lay;
So this is all I have to say...
That suicide at Loch Ness,
It brings on many changes
And 'Oots I can take or leave it, at Dumfries.
The only way to win is cheat
And face braw' weather and Highland sleet,
And for your Mother, give yon seat
For that's the route for painless feet.
That suicide at Loch Ness,
It brings on many changes
And 'Oots I can take or leave it if I please.
And you can dee the same thing if you please.

"It brings on many changes"...absolutely ridiculous line.
You have to see the original 1970 movie that the series was based on to really understand this song. One of the characters in that film, a dentist, is a Lothario type who is nonetheless deeply troubled about what he perceives as his "latent" homosexuality, and chooses to commit suicide rather than live out the rest of his life as a fag. His fellow soldiers pretend to agree with his decision, and offer to give him what they refer to as a "black capsule", or suicide pill. Unknown to him, the black capsule is merely a sedative. The entire M*A*S*H unit stages a phony ceremonial "suicide party" for him, during which he takes the black capsule, and this song is performed by a soldier who is, if I remember correctly, a negro. The suicidal dentist goes to sleep, and a nurse (a woman) volunteers to have sex with him as he is waking up. The next day the dentist is back to normal, having dispensed with any silly notion of killing himself.
The whole scenario is absurd, but one has to realize that what was considered "dark" and "avant garde" comedy in 1970 would merely perplex audiences of today. People have read more into that song than was intended--it was just part of an absurdist joke. Something which even the creators of the TV series seem to have misunderstood.
