So, I'm sure you guys might not know the song Suicide in Painless by Johnny Mandel and Mike Altman. But you might know the theme song to the Television series M*A*S*H.

Same song.

Anyway, I dowloaded Simplest Love, as I didn't have it (shame on me), and although I know the guitar isn't the same, I find it very similiar, but much slower. If I think about Suicide is Painless being played much much slower I hear something similar...albeit small...

Here's someone's version of Suicide is Painless...take a listen and then listen to Simplest Love...

I can hear the similarities in it.


I like Simplest Love much more.

maybe even more so with the horns that come in around 1:06 into the song...

They had to have had ripped off this song for that melody.

Phobs.

Justy was thinking that they ripped Smashing Pumpkins 1979, with copy cat rock N roll

Copy cat rock n roll isn't that similar to 1979.
