10 classic episodes of M*A*S*H
"The lyrics (to Suicide is Painless) used in the movie intro were written by Mike Altman (then only 14 years old). He is the son of Robert Altman, who got a big break when he directed M*A*S*H. Robert Altman went on to direct Popeye, Cookie's Fortune and Gosford Park.
Altman penned the lyrics at the age of only 14. His father told Johnny Carson that, while he himself was paid only $70,000 for directing the film, Mike made over a $1 million from the song."
