Musical numbers on MASH
Kevin Bergamine
different MASH members do you enjoy listening and watching? It can be
from the touching song Radar sung to the Korean girl {"Daddy still loves
you"} to the hilarious {"Come on in, take off your skin, and rattle
around in your bones"} that Hawk, Trap and Hot Lips sang to Frank.

"I love to go swimming with boe-legged women and swim between their
legs... Swim between their legs..." - Col. Potter

We got some saki and sashimi and some clean sheets,
Oh Kim-on-o, Kim-on-o
ps - LOVE that scene with Hawk, Trap and Hotlips. I've always wondered
whether Maragaret's last line "Who was that!!??" was ad-libbed. The
hysterical response from Hawk and Trap seems so genuine.

True, but Loudon would be considered a ringer for purposes of musical
numbers, since by the time he had his short run on the show he had already
been an established singer and songwriter

I like the muscial number "My Blue Heaven" from Dear Dad Again. Hawkeye
has to keep Margaret on key, and Radar goes off on the drums. And the way
Henry swings his arms as he is conducting cracks me up every time.

The song he sang in the same episode about missing the nurses is good
as well...

This really great lullaby someone (I think Radar) sings: "By-low, Baby,
by-low..." It's sweet, subdued, a little sad-sounding...I love it.

I agree, my favorite musical number also....."ON MORE TIME!!!!"
A close second would be Radar's drum solo in Showtime. In third place would
come Radar's little piano ditty at the start of As You Were.
"Radar don't you know another song?"
"He doesn't even know that one."

There's a good bit near the end of "Change of Command" - Hawkeye,
B.J., and Potter are in the Swamp, singing a poignant song in rather
intoxicated harmony. The "wrong" harmonies (it sounds as though
there's a part missing) only add to the moment.

are:
1. When everyone sings "Donas Nobis Pacem", the Latin traditional, in "Dear
Sis". Everyone's singing and the looks on all their faces is touching.
2. The scenes with Charles and the Chinese musicians in "Goodbye, Farewell,
and Amen." There's when Charles finishes yelling at them for playing their
regular music and says he is trying to listen to Mozart. The look on his
face when he turns after the flute player starts to play Mozart is
priceless. The scene in which Charles breaks the record after learning the
fate of the Chinese musicians is very moving. I'm getting shivers just
thinking of it.

It's also a symptom of being Hawkeye. Are you Hawkeye?

How is alliteration a symptom of being Hawkeye? He's done it a few times, but
hardly enough to make him Benjamin Franklin "Mr. Alliteration" Pierce.

Winchester and Klinger have also used alliteration. How do you figure
alliteration is exclusively a Hawkeye phenomenon?
Andrew Smith
Something like:
"There's a long long night of waiting
Until my dreams all come true..."
Mr C
Certainly not exclusive. But, I think you'll agree the alliteration
flourished in the later years--the show tended to humorize the
phraseology toward the end (sufferin' horse-hockey!) Then too is when
Hawkeye--or his alter ego--became more prominent as writer, director
and creative consultant. Coincidence?
Anyhoo, with regards to the music: apparently recorded music isn't
allowed, or the Luxembourg(sp?) national anthem ranks right up there.
So, I guess singing "I'll be home for Christmas" was pretty poignant,
if a bit sappy. But in the movie, it's "Suicide is Painless", hands
down.

CartoonB
uses alliteration. It's just that he does it the most, and when he does, it
usually makes for a memorable few minutes.
As a side note, he's definitely the king of something similar (I don't know
what it's called though): when he gives a whole speech based around one or two
words ("I will not carry a gun" and "I cannot take this sitting down" come to
mind). Anyway, sorry I didn't make myself clear.

It gets better, though. During the shots inside the Swamp the singing is played for drunk-scene
laughter, but in the fadeout shot they sound good, sentimental and even a little haunting.

FWIW, the song "Long, Long Trail" was one of the most popular songs of World
War I. The words are:
There's a long, long trail a-winding into the land of my dreams,
Where the nightingales are singing and the white moon beams,
There's a long, long night of waiting until my dreams all come true,
‘Til the day when I'll be going down that long, long trail with you.
Someone also mentioned "Keep the Home Fires Burning", another popular song that
came out of WWI. I'm guessing both songs were chosen in deference to Colonel
Potter.
