#1 Song on your birthday?

[quote=Holden Pike;it's the theme from the Robert Altman movie [I]MASH[/i] (1970). It opens that film, as well as being played by the characters during Painless Pole's "funeral" - one of my favorite scenes in the whole magnificent movie. An instrumental version of "Suicide is Painless" was used as the theme for the long-running sitcom "M*A*S*H" (1972-1983).
film released 1970,series started 1972,i was born 1980 so why did it take a decade to reach number 1?thats a thinker

^ It probably had something to do with the show's popularity and by extension the song's popularity.
