#16. Theme From M*A*S*H* - there's always been some debate about who performed it (as heard in the film - the TV show used a watered-down theme with no lyrics) - when it charted over here, it was credited to The Mash (!), but you could equally credit it to Johnny Mandel, and/or Mike Altman

...and it would help if I told you what the song was called!
"Suicide Is Painless"
