I always liked the scene from the movie M*A*S*H when "Suicide Is Painless" is played - it fits the mood.

Has anyone mentioned:

Cheers

WKRP in Cincinnati (both of them!) These are the opening lyrics:

"Baby, if you've ever wondered
Wondered whatever became of me
I'm living on the air in Cincinnati
Cincinnati
WKRP

Got kind of tired of packin' and unpackin'
Town to Town
Up and down the dial
Maybe you and me
Were never meant to be
Just maybe think of me
Once in a while
I'm at WKRP in Cincinnati.

About the closing lyrics:
The ending theme song, a cool little rock ditty, was done by a group of studio musicians in Atlanta, GA. The words are unintelligible for a very simple reason -- there are no words! The vocal was basically a "scratch" track, i.e., a vocal track recorded solely to help the musicians and the show's producers get a feel for the song and the lyric melody. But the producers liked it as is, and it was never changed, so there aren't any words, just meaningless gibberish! (from www.imdb.com)
