Welsh alternative rock band Manic Street Preachers released a cover version of "Suicide Is Painless" on September 7, 1992, as "Theme from M.A.S.H. (Suicide Is Painless)". In the UK, it was a double A-side charity single to help The Spastics Society, with the Fatima Mansions' take on Bryan Adams' "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You" as the other A-side.

Paul McCartney wrote the melody to "When I'm Sixty-Four" around the age of 14, [7] probably at 20 Forthlin Road in April or May 1956. [8] In 1987, McCartney recalled, "Rock and roll was about to happen that year, it was about to break, [so] I was still a little bit cabaret minded", [8] and in 1974, "I wrote a lot of stuff thinking I was going to end up in the cabaret, not realizing that rock ...
The unusual chord progression is an example of the Beatles' use of chords for added harmonic expression, [28] a device that Harrison adopted from Lennon's approach to melody. [29] Musicologist Walter Everett describes the composition as "a tour de force of altered scale degrees". He adds that, such is the ambiguity throughout, "its tonal ...
