(I remember this from elementary school...and now, you will remember it------forever)

OMG....
Today, playing that will get you accused of causing anorexia and/or destroying a child's self worth!

This is the only song I remember singing in school:

Suicide is Painless (M.A.S.H Theme)

quote 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... 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... 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. 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. 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... 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?' '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.

I kid you not...

I was 11 when that 45 showed up at my elementary school. It has taken me lo this many years to forget that awful thing and someone had to post it on another forum tonight. Had hoped to peacefully live out the few years I have left without ever hearing it again.
Just wanted to share my misery.

76 trombones in the big parade,

IT'S CHRISSSSSMASSSSTIME! *SOMETHING SOMETHING, SOMETHING*

Thank you very much. I had not thought of that since elementary school. You are no longer in my will.

Does this mean your school discouraged the kids from life and encourages suicide?

Sooooo....Anyone else notice how few overweight kids there were in those pictures? Wonder how that would compare to similar pictures from today's classrooms.

Maybe the song should make a resurgence in schools.....

New Apple commercial

I reject your video

I think you underestimate how forgetful some of us are.

Almost got fired for that song once. I was quietly singing it when my boss decided I was making up words encouraging others to kill themselves. I asked him if he'd ever watched M*A*S*H and told him that was the theme song from it. He said there weren't any words to that song and that he could have me terminated for encouraging...blahblahblah. I few days later, he walked by me and mumbled something about that song and Google. Took everything I had NOT to tell him, "I told ya!".

It sure seems like it, don't it?
And would do nicely in explaining my penchant for all things dark (music, movies, images, etc.).

When you think about it, singing that in school is downright scary.......but maybe it was just a different time.

I don't remember hearing that song at all. I still screw up saying the pledge of allegiance because "under God" was not in it when I first learned it.

edit: Yea, by 1961 I was already enlisted so I missed hearing that gem in school.
