Tulip, your good at this!

And keep your eye on the sparrow.

Barretta or however that was spelled

Ding, ding ding - we have a winner!

Next -

All the world's waiting for you, and the power you possess.
In your satin tights,
Fighting for your rights
And the old Red, White and Blue.

[AskTheWiseOldMan]

Satin tights?? Must be Wonder Woman

[AskTheWiseOldMan]

Can you name the show? One of the longest running series in history opened with the theme song called "Suicide is Painless." (hint: The performer had his guitar smashed by John Belushi in Animal House.)

[AskTheWiseOldMan]

LYRICS:

Hint 2: The lyrics to this famous theme song (that everyone can at least hum by heart)

"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...

[REFRAIN]:

that suicide is painless

It brings on many changes

and I can take or leave it if I please.

I try to find a way to make

all our little joys relate

without that ever-present hate

but now I know that it's too late, and...

[REFRAIN]

The game of life is hard to play

I'm gonna lose it anyway

The losing card I'll someday lay

so this is all I have to say.

[REFRAIN]

The only way to win is cheat

And lay it down before I'm beat

and to another give my seat

for that's the only painless feat.

[REFRAIN]

The sword of time will pierce our skins

It doesn't hurt when it begins

But as it works its way on in

The pain grows stronger...watch it grin, but...

[REFRAIN]

A brave man once requested me

to answer questions that are key

is it to be or not to be

and I replied 'oh why ask me?'

[REFRAIN]

'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 please."

[taylor]

Wasn't sure of the title to the song, but I think the longest running series in history was M.A.S.H.

[AskTheWiseOldMan]

Yep.
"Suicide is Painless" is the theme song to MASH. Yer good.


Here you go:

"The end of the Civil War was near when quite accidentally,
A hero who sneezed abruptly seized retreat and reversed it to vic-tor-y. "


modif'd to add (ps It was also written by a Taylor)

[taylor]

Lot's of giggle there! I watched a lot of TV with daddy when I was little!

Good Ol' "F Troop"!

[taylor]

Here's another oldie but a goodie -

There's a hold up in the Bronx,
Brooklyn's broken out in fights.
There's a traffic jam in Harlem
That's backed up to Jackson Heights.

[ana]

Green Acres and Mash were two of my favorites as a kid. The final MASH was awful? Who remembers what Hawkeye did as the big twist in the show?

[coosa]

He had a nervous breakdown??

Car 54 , where are you??

[taylor]

YAY! Ya got one Coosa!!

Ok, here's an easy one -

Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale. A tale of a fateful trip.
That started from this tropic port aboard this tiny ship.

[coosa]

What color was the police car painted, on car 54 where are you??
