London calling. Someone's gotten hold of the other line. Thanks for all the heartfelt posts. Won't be forgotten. Night all. 🤗

Well 60s and 80s I got straight away although couldn't have said who the artists were in either case.

70s was the reverse. I had to skip til the vocals and then I knew the artist but not the song. Luckily for me though the choices on offer meant I could only choose the correct answer.

60s and 80s suited me best. Don't remember hearing the 70s song. Had to scam it from the recognisable singer. Gotta run. Laters.

I got the 60’s and 80’s songs straightaway. Go me go theme 😉

Did anyone notice the line in the 60's after Wilson Pickett, “spotlight on Otis Redding now – Fa fa-fa-fa fa-fa fa”? Legend 😍

I got the singer in the 70’s but not the song. Cat 😂

2/3 for songs, 3/3 for puns 😉

The M*A*S*H theme story is pretty interesting:

"Suicide Is Painless" (or "Song from M*A*S*H") is a song written by Johnny Mandel (music) and Michael Altman (lyrics) for the 1970 film M*A*S*H. In addition to being performed by characters in the film, it plays during the title sequence as sung by The Ron Hicklin Singers. An instrumental version is likewise the theme music for the TV series based on the film, playing over the opening and closing credits.

The song was written for Ken Prymus, the actor playing Private Seidman, to sing during the faux-suicide of Walter "Painless Pole" Waldowski (John Schuck) in the film's "Last Supper" scene.^[1] Director Robert Altman had two stipulations about the song for composer Johnny Mandel: it had to be called "Suicide Is Painless" and it had to be the "stupidest song ever written".^[2] Altman attempted to write the lyric himself, but, upon finding it too difficult for his "45-year-old brain" to write something "stupid" enough,^[3] he gave the task to his 15-year-old-son Michael, who reportedly wrote the lyrics in five minutes.^[4]^[5]

Altman later decided that the song worked so well he would use it as the film's main theme. This more choral version was sung by uncredited session singers John Bahler, Tom Bahler, Ron Hicklin, and Ian Freebairn-Smith, and was released as a single attributed to "The Mash". Altman said that, while he only made $70,000 for directing the movie, his son had earned more than $1 million for co-writing the song.^[6]

Several instrumental versions of the song were used as the theme for the TV series, but the lyrics were never used in the show.^[7] It became a number-one hit in the UK Singles Chart in May 1980.^[8] The song was ranked No. 66 on AFI's 100 Years...100 Songs.

Welsh alternative rock band Manic Street Preachers released a cover version of "Suicide Is Painless" on September 7, 1992, as "Theme from M.A.S.H. (Suicide Is Painless)". In the UK, it was a double A-side charity single to help The Spastics Society, with the Fatima Mansions' take on Bryan Adams' "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You" as the other A-side.

Fatima Mansions. RIP Cathal Coughlan who died on Ian Curtis' anniversary this year after a long illness. 💔

Mixed bag this morning . 60s I probably should have got immediately but needed to skip to the riff .

70s Not a clue, song or artist.

80s Instantly recognisable.

So shoulda been 2/3 but I'll have to settle for 1.5/3.

Same as yesterday except worse. This time I don't remember ever hearing of the 70s artist or the song. Gotta run. Time is pushing down on me. Probably pushing down on you too. 😉

I know the 60's chorus and I got the band after a few skips.
