Tom Lehrer: The Masochism Tango (studio solo) (1959)

[LumineVonReuental]

I don't know whether this or Poisoning Pigeons in the Park is more romantic, but both of them are sarcastically wonderful!

mmmm yes please

[DarkSuicune45]

Amazing! Wanna learn this!

[Darksangel09]

Any one know where I can find that version of the phantom of the opera? 

[AlexSh789]

@Darksangel09 Only I know where I got it from, and I'm not telling.

[Edwardofoneself]

@Darksangel09 It's by Andrew Llyod Webber.

Thank you Tom Lehrer! Masochists everywhere will one day use this as their theme song

[JudeKase]

@AlexSh789 Do you by chance know the original name of the song Lehrer is playing? I am trying to find the sheet music for the song and I know that the Masochism Tango was not the original title for the tango itself. Unless I am severely misinformed. If you could help it would be much appreciated.

[AlexSh789]

@JudeKase This IS an original song. Tom Lehrer writes all his own material.

[BlackenedNightShade]

BRAVA!!! I -3 this song!! Arigato for putting it up!!

[JudeKase]

Thank you Tom Lehrer for giving Masochists, such as myself, a theme song! And thank you to the maker of this video for posting this ;)

[randomcrazyweirdo97]

@JudeKase

In absolute agreement

[sakuraasukura1234567]

@JudeKase he didnt make this song for masochists he is a comedian thats all....and masochism isnt just someone causing you pain it is also a form of self punishment...

@sakuraasukura1234567 Masochism is getting sexually pleasured from getting physically and/or verbally abused. Pleasure from Pain. xP

@sakuraasukura1234567

Do you know we're all masochists inside? Think about it. Why do you scratch your head when you're itchy?

[sakuraasukura1234567]

@maygirl because it itches duh

[maygirl]

@sakuraasukura1234567

Meh. But it all starts from our nerve cells. It's used to knock off dead skin cells (our skin cells are always reproducing). But the signals that tell you to scratch is similar to the signals you get when something is painful, or if something is hot or cold.

@AlexSh789 tell me...where did you study?

[AlexSh789]

@glidepunch1534 What do you mean?

[glidepunch1534]

@AlexSh789 you have amazing skill on the piano where did you learn?

[AlexSh789]

@glidepunch1534 Dude, you're kidding me, right?

That's not me! It's Tom Lehrer. Please look at the video's title and description.

Now, if you're referring to the first 7 seconds of the video, where I play "La Marcha Real" on my keyboard, then I thank you very much. I will actually be posting videos of myself playing these pieces as soon as I'm done with Tom Lehrer.

Look at some of my other Tom Lehrer videos; you'll enjoy them!

[glidepunch1534]

@AlexSh789 im talking about "La Marcha Real" my friend...your very good on a keyboard...im not pushover on the synth. i think youll be happy to know you have a new subscriber

[AlexSh789]

@glidepunch1534 Wow, I was never complimented on my anthems before. Thank you so much.

You know, I'm in the process of making a new movie right now (I have nothing else to do on Veteran's Day), and each of my movies has its own anthem at the beginning. Today, I'm doing "La Dessalinienne" (Haiti).

[glidepunch1534]

@AlexSh789 oh my.....i gotta remember to see that. ill spread the word of your skills^^
