The M*A*S*H theme song came from a scene in M*A*S*H (1970), when Captain "Painless" Waldowski (John Schuck) contemplates suicide because he cannot perform sexually, and is convinced he is gay. The other doctors in the camp pretend to help him with this. They go through a big fake ritual in the swamp as one of the men plays "Suicide is Painless" on guitar. The scene is considered somewhat homophobic by post-1970 standards. The "Suicide is Painless" song proved to be so popular, Robert Altman used it as the theme song, and had his son, Mike, write the lyrics. The lyrics, however, were not used in the TV show.
