The original movie had a scene in which one character sang the song while another played guitar. It was a 'last supper' scene in which a supporting character commits faux suicide because he is unable to perform sexually and believes he may be homosexual.
The tv series had two episodes, from early in it's run, where Loudon Wainwright III played guitar and sang the songs listed below:
"North Korean Blues"
"If There's An Afterlife"
"I Wonder If They Miss Us"
He is credited with writing/composing these songs and sang them as a character from the camp.
The lyrics were written by the director's, Robert Altman, son for the original film when he was only 14. Altman told Johnny Carson that his son earned over a million dollars from royalties while the father received 70k for directing the original film.
