MASH 4077 and my trip to Tokyo
 

Just came back from a week in Tokyo and honestly I fell in love with the city. So much to do, so much to see, the women were just increidible..
When I came back I had this song that appeared in an episode of MASH 4077 and was wondering if anyone could help me figure out whats the name so I can get it.
The episode I remeber was I think the one where the nurses had to leave the camp because of a possible VietCong invasion on the camp. There is a man singing a song with a guitar about Tokyo. Go's something like,

Oh Tokyo,
They got sashimi and sushi and...

Thats the only two lines I remeber but I remeber the rest was pretty cool. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for any help in advance.

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!

Thanks man appreciate the advice.

Right war wrong opposition... :lol:

I remember that song as well.

Tokyo - North Korean Blues

Oh Tokyo,
They got some saki, and sashimi, and some clean sheets,
Oh, kimono, oh, kimono,
Tokyo's the town that I love the best,
East may be East, and West may be West,
Forget about between, it'll drive you insane,
And teach you things you never knew before.
