Why are so many people asking this today?
Excluding instrumentals. these spring tto mind:

Bohemian Rhapsody
Space Oddity
Unchained Melody
Ballad of John & Yoko
Theme from MASH
Importance of Being Idle

[Davethedog]

Theane from MASH is called Suicide is painless and it is mentioned in the lyrics on a number of occassions.

My book of hit singles says the 1980 hit was called Theme from MASH but the words 'suicide is painless' appear in brackets . I recall that at the time radio 1/TOTP were reluctant to refer to the suicide references so maybe the record was given a dual title.
I think the Manic St Preachers version was called Suicide is Painless
