I love that song. So few people know the words. Or even that there are words.

I sang it in a 7th grade talent show with two of my friends.

Times were different, you could get away with that sort of thing then, without having to go see the guidance counselor.

And few people also realise that those words were written by a 14 year old boy.

The US Army Academy of Health Sciences (AHS), Ft. Sam Houston, TX, got away with using the music as its unofficial theme thru the '80s. The tune was played at major events, including those with public attendance, such as change of command ceremonies and retirement parades. I was skeptical about the appropriateness of the Command's selection; but, they probably figured that most people wouldn't even know the title let alone [as you said] the lyrics to the song and would simply associate the music with the movie and TV show. I believe AHS stopped using it when AHS was re-designated the Army Medical Department Center and School (AMEDD C&S) [the School portion still being called AHS] in '91: the song was probably no longer considered PC with the onset the Gulf War since military suicides increase during wartime. It is not listed as AMEDD Regimental Music.
