The Theme from M*A*S*H (“Suicide Is Painless”) was written by Johnny Mandel (music) and Mike Altman (lyrics), which was the theme song for both the movie and TV series M*A*S*H. Mike Altman is the son of the original film’s director, Robert Altman, and was only 14 years old when he wrote the song’s lyrics.
Director Altman has said that while he only made $70,000 for having directed the movie, his son had earned more than $1 million for having co-written the song.
My instrumental arrangement is done in the style of the Shadows — who actually recorded and released their own version. Mine is not a cover.
