   I had to refresh myself on the wiki….

   Scroll to “suicide is painless” under plot.

   This song was used as a theme for the show – most people don’t realize how morbid it really is.

   The lyrics were written by Robert Altman’s teenage son. I don’t think the movie would have been the same without it. Great flick.

   I think I read somewhere that Robert Altman’s son made more money from this song than Altman made for directing the movie.

   I can honestly say that I consider this one of the most overrated movies ever.

   I’m not a huge Altman fan.

   I totally forgot about the homage to the ‘Last Supper’ tableau here. Brilliant.

   This plays even funnier in the book, which is excellent.
