"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.
