We all know the song, "Suicide is Painless." It was used in the movie and an instrumental version was used for the T.V. show. But my question is- Who was it by? Does anyone know?
According to this, Music by Johnny Mandel, Lyrics by Mike Altman.
Okay, that says who wrote it, next question: who performed it in the movie?
Better late than never: This is according to the Wikipedia page for the song: This version was sung by uncredited session singers John Bahler, Tom Bahler, Ron Hicklin and Ian Freebairn-Smith (the vocals are sometimes misattributed to Johnny Mandel, due to his being the only name officially credited for the song).
quote:
Mike Altman is the son of Robert Altman; he was 14 when he wrote the lyrics.
