"The Masochism Tango" was republished in a 4:3 HQ-version in August 2009. The song is a typical Tom Lehrer original comment and this song will live forever. It really is a timeless gem!

In 1998 Lehrer hosted a radio show on BBC Radio 2, stating that he was inspired to write "The Masochism Tango" after hearing Tony Martin singing a song called "Kiss of Fire". You can hear Lehrer talking about the song here:

There is a YouTube version of "Kiss of Fire" with Frankie Laine here:

Lehrer said "OK" to "The Tom Lehrer Wisdom Channel", as long as the performance is not altered and as long as it's free in the YouTube flash video format.

Tom is nothing less than genius. Check out his Wikipedia entry sometime. The guy rubbed frontal lobes with some of the 20th century's greatest minds and held his own.IMHO was one of them. Los Alamos, Yale, Harvard, the NSA. Polymath. A term I do not use lightly.

@DrLeroyGreen, of course I appreciated this comment very very much! Thank you!

[Vlogphobia]

This guy is a rhyming master!

[6funswede]

@Vlogphobia, yes, and one of the greatest one at that, although Lehrer would say that Sondheim is much better. Thank you for appreciating the songs!

@thaer12345, that´s Tom Lehrer, the linguist. He is saying "unnskyld", which is "excuse me" in Danish and Norwegian.

I remember finding this song when I was young and naive and and listening to it with my mother without listening to it afterward. Talk about awkward ;D
