Reading about him on Wiki he sounds like the original Clay Davis
He is probably the only person who can say he worked with Weird Al, Hulk Hogan, and Ringo Starr.

It is insane to me that this was the theme song for a major television program. The show version was lyric free IIRC. Used to be part of the lineup at the babysitter's house when I was pre-K and early elementary.
if only the internets knew how much fun cutting yourself is.... Honestly I've sat through 4 hour power point displays wishing for death.

The lyrics were an afterthought and added to complete it as a song. They were not meant to be reflective of anything at all really, and not the show at all.

Wasn't the MASH movie before the show? The lyrics were very relevant in the movie.

I just remember reading about it in a booklet that came with a collectors edition of the show we got back in the 90's. The movie was based on a book, and the movie did come before the tv show yes. The book is a pretty good read, semi-autobiographical account written by an actual surgeon who served in the Korean war.
