I considered adding the refrain ("Suicide is painless / It brings on many changes / And I can take or leave it if I please") to my wall of quotes, but didn't yet... as I recall, it was performed by one of the longtime members of the cast of "Cats" - I believe he played Old Deuteronomy. Though I may be mistaken.

I'm pretty sure the guy who played guitar in several episodes of the first few seasons of the show is the guy who sings, and possibly even wrote the song. I'll check my M*A*S*H book tonight at home. (Being from Toledo, I have to be a fan, and I always know another fan by the immediate "Just like Klinger!" response to that info.)
