The M*A*S*H song is called Suicide is Painless and the lyrics are: Through early morning fog I see visions of the things to be the pains that are withheld for me I realize and I can see that suicide is painless It brings on many changes and I can take or leave it if I please The game of life is hard to play I'm gonna lose it anyway The losing card I'll someday lay so this is all I have to say suicide is painless It brings on many changes and I can take or leave it if I please The sword of time will pierce our skins It doesn't hurt when it begins But as it works its way on in The pain grows stronger watch it grin suicide is painless It brings on many changes and I can take or leave it if I please A brave man once requested me to answer questions that are key is it to be or not to be and I replied oh why ask me suicide is painless it brings on many changes and I can take or leave it if I please and you can do the same thing if you please

"I dreamed a dream" (Fantine) is the most popular and most well-known song but I personally prefer "Javert's suicide"
A few musicians made a song called "Could this be magic". Most notably are Barry Manilow, and the band "Take That"
