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

The first part of the video (my signature slide) is overlaid by the final bars of "Marcha Real", which I played on my keyboard.

The main part of the song is one of Tom Lehrer's studio solo songs, "The Masochism Tango". It is part of Tom's second published album, "More of Tom Lehrer". But I obtained the actual music from the box set, "The Remains of Tom Lehrer", which was released in 2000. Enjoy.

And the last part is the main theme of "The Phantom of the Opera", by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Simply the 'cherry on top', and my personal song.

Here's the description Tom Lehrer himself made about the two love songs in this album: ""She's My Girl" and "The Masochism Tango" illustrate two archetypes of the love song."

Sorry I gave so much information about the music earlier. I don't want to get screwed by stupid WMG again. They are a bunch of arse-holes. And to make sure I am not screwed, have them read the following credits:

Recorded at RCA VICTOR STUDIOS, New York, NY (7/8/59)
Produced by TOM LEHRER
From the album "More Of Tom Lehrer", Lehrer #TL-102-S (1959)

"The Remains of Tom Lehrer" Compilation ℗ 2000 Warner Bros. Records Inc. & Rhino Entertainment Company.

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.

@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.

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 ;)

@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!

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

[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...

[DarkSuicune45]
