Ahh... a question about MASH! I had quite the obsession with MASH for a while. The person singing the song in question was Louden Wainwright III. I think he was mainly a semi-recurring character in season three. He did indeed sing in the episode about the nurses entitled "There is Nothing Like a Nurse" but the song in that episode is "I Wonder if they Miss Us". Actually I'm not sure if thats the official title but close enough. The song you want is from the episode in season three entitled "Rainbow Bridge" where Hawkeye and Trapper are going on leave to Tokyo but instead end up going with Klinger, Radar and Frank Burns to exchange prisoners in enemy territory. They weren't supposed to come armed but Burns brought a tiny little pistol that the Chinese found quite amusing when it was pulled. Anyhoo, the song "Tokyo" or "North Korean Blues" as I've also heard it called was performed by Mr. Wainwright in that episode. I don't know that it exists anywhere else but if you buy season three of MASH on DVD you will have the song!
