This song was originally written for the 1970 movie M*A*S*H, which was a satire of the US involvement in the Korean War. The lyrics were written by the 15 year old son of the film’s Director, Robert Altman, who gave him the task to write the "stupidest song ever" to mirror the absurdity and tragedy of war. The song went on to become a number one hit and was used as the theme song to the M*A*S*H spin-off TV show, one of the highest rating US TV shows ever, on air from 1972 - 1983.

I never thought I'd see a official upload of this, fucking rules.

Damn, this needs more love. It's so Liddiard to pick a song that the audience is going to have to make an effort to understand. Even the jolly M*A*S*H TV theme version means nothing if you don't know the song's context from the movie. Brilliant cover and one of my favourite LaV's

i got no clue what like a version is, or what this is for. Can anyone provide me some context to why so many people find this funny or what this is for?

I'd have rather heard more from the "helicopter" than the "singer". Skip this and stick to the quintessential version by the Manics 👌🏻

You clearly don't understand music, maybe you can take a course?

@@ritchiebennoquite possibly the worst "music" criticism I've ever heard 😂 you believe one must have an "understanding" of music? You FEEL music mate. You also listen, hear and evaluate. Maybe you could try a course...of sleeping tablets if this dirge doesn't do the trick? 😉

Jesus mate, take a course in sarcasm whilst you're down there and chill out. The rest of us are ✌️

@@ritchiebenno ahhh it was "sarcasm", that old chestnut...it's all good brother 😂 I was just saying this singer ain't for me. I like a few Australian bands, just not this particular singer. If you aren't aware of the Manics version, I definitely recommend it. Perhaps you'll agree, perhaps you won't 😉

Haha nah nah all good mate! I just gave the maniacs version a go awesome tune, good shout, cheers! 😊
