Women back then thought men were supposed to be toxically dominant. I actually think it’s very manly when a guy lets a woman take control of him. It shows humility and trust. This is just my theory on why he never married.
I am a masochist,but seriously,this song is just plain beautiful and not because it is about masochsits,its just beautiful rhyme,good lyrics and very very very catchy!
OK making a list of songs like this because a lot of people seem to like this oddly specific genre: -The Torture Tango from Spies Are Forever (its a musical for free on YT) -Crazy-For-You Tango from Rockabye (also a musical for free on YT) -The Dismemberment Song by Blue Kid -Stalker’s Tango by Autoheart -The Red Means I Love You by Madds Buckley If you have any other good ones please leave them in the comments!!! Would love more of these lol
AS a 13 yr old Way Back When, (1959! Yes, time does go that far back) I saw this title on an LP album (ah, the memories!) and asked my very Catholic Dad, 'Dad, what's masochism?' Pause. Then without looking up from his newspaper (remember those?) he pointed and said 'The dictionary is over there.' So it was. 'Oh', I said, and understood the song at once.
Sapphirelia I just got here, but as a masochist you should know your limits and whoever is the dom at the time should know when to stop and what the limits are. Hence why they talk about boundaries before they do anything
I think of Gomez and Morticia when I hear this, and the Beetlejuice fan fiction Cinderjuice led me here. Beej and Lydia danced a special dance to this very song.
Hey welcome to 2019 there's a musical to Beetlejuice now and there's 'That Beautiful Sound' song which is basically Sadism: The Musical. So close enough!
Make your parents listen, do it, i dare you. I dont care if its been seven years and you are probably an adult now. Go back to your parents house, set on the couch and play this on full volume
I ache for the touch of your lips, dear But much more for the touch of your whips, dear You can raise welts Like nobody else As we dance to the Masochism Tango Let our love be a flame, not an ember Say it's me that you want to dismember Blacken my eye Set fire to my tie As we dance to the Masochism Tango At your command Before you here I stand My heart is in my hand . (Yeechh!) It's here that I must be My heart entreats Just hear those savage beats And go put on your cleats And come and trample me Your heart is hard as stone or mahogany That's why I'm in such exquisite agony My soul is on fire It's aflame with desire Which is why I perspire when we tango You caught my nose In your left castanet, love I can feel the pain yet, love Ev'ry time I hear drums And I envy the rose That you held in your teeth, love With the thorns underneath, love Sticking into your gums Your eyes cast a spell that bewitches The last time I needed twenty stitches To sew up the gash You made with your lash As we danced to the Masochism Tango Bash in my brain And make me scream with pain Then kick me once again And say we'll never part I know too well I'm underneath your spell So, darling, if you smell Something burning, it's my heart . . . (hiccup) 'Scuse me! Take your cigarette from its holder And burn your initials in my shoulder Fracture my spine And swear that you're mine As we dance to the Masochism Tango
The comments are either about Julian Devorak or wondering the feedback of when this was released. I'm here from a Sanders sides tumblr post about Remus and Logan
Okay but the thing is that I've loved this artist and this song for years and now that I've noticed the parallels it's TOO perfect and I can never listen to this without thinking of Julian ever again
Same, I was sexually repressed to like age 10 in the sense that I never had ANYTHING explained to me. So not only am I a lesbian, but I have some weird frigging kinks.
Love lyric videos, great for playlists to listen to while cleaning. However, when people include musical intros of a different song on a *lyrics* video it ruins it completely and I can't even finish the video it's so annoying.
And I have to add, that my introduction to Tom Lehrer happened many many MANY years ago when I was a teenager. Most of my family and friends totally got him, even back then. Brilliant stuff.
Honestly I wonder how masochism even came into existence like someone was just having sex with someone and then and one of them accidentally hurt the other and the other was just like "oh wait I enjoy this"
Fr fr my brain cannot tell the difference between pain and joy. Due to a lot of trauma, I think I'm supposed to be treated this way. I literally found this song from spicy fanfic content
The meaning is rather simple. It's a joke. A comic eschewing of standard relationship principles and entwining it with masochism. (For the uneducated, Masochism is the deriving of pleasure from pain, though it is mostly used to say one derives a sexual joy from pain.) With that in mind, it's a joke. Not really anything more.
Anime is popular these days. People compare something that is amazing to something they really enjoy as a means of saying how much they enjoy the amazing thing from the past or present.
This was my introduction to the world of Tom Lehrer ... and it was downhill from there. I absolutely adore his music and thank you for putting it all up here!
I was "cosplayer dancing", as my mother calls it, to this song and my dad started making fun of it and asked what I was even listening to I just replied "uhh... r-really upbeat music" FHJfVHHJHBJGHUGVYUG HE BOUGHT IT TOO-
Funny story me and a friend were in school and we were just talking and then they looked at me, set down their sketchbook and grabbed my waist and started singing this and dancing with me so yeah that was fun Edit-Today me and that friend were actually able to dance to this for a bit, even if it was pretty bad it was a lot of fun
This, stalkers tango, and an unhealthy obsession go perfect
YES! I agree
These three are exactly what I need rn for school

Tonithenightowl The album "the sick humor of Lenny Bruce" came out the same year, featuring such tracks as "psychopathia sexualis"
Charles that would explain a lot lol Thanks :o)
Simple... People weren't sensitive fucks back then XD
Ok now listen , an immortal masochist
Me when I have a character that is this
Soo Julian Devorak?
He's technically not immortal but close enough lol
*sigh* time for me to get drawing I guess…..
I know a character like that
And I also wanna make one similar cause god that’s an interesting concept
i hear you
"I envy the rose, that you held in your teeth love, with the thorns underneath love, sticking into your gums." I love this song so much.
The minute I read this comment that part played. It is honestly a beautiful moment in this song!
Yesssss
@@ButtersDefender literally same! funny coincidence ahah
@@ButtersDefender Same (:
BDSM anthem.
In some forms a lot of masochist dont want serious pain
That's what I thought too-
"Bash in my brain and make me scream in pain Then kick me once again and say we'll never part" My fav part of the entire song.

Masochists need to be careful not to take it too far, lest they can't feel the wonderful pain when they get carried away and die by accident.

I have a giggle-inducing vision of him playing piano in a literary nightclub. Especially since he has a false nose on his mask.

Happy Birthday Mr Lehrer - 91 today!
92 in 2021. With his earlier attitude and songs I bet that he is a 35 year old in a 92 year old body.

Is it a red flag that I actually believe thats a love song? I mean it is...
they played this song at the Rocky Horror midnight showing!

As we dance to the Masochism Tango
Let our love be a flame, not an ember
Say it's me that you want to dismember
Blacken my eye
Set fire to my tie
As we dance to the Masochism Tango
At your command
Before you here I stand
My heart is in my hand .
(Yeechh!)
It's here that I must be
My heart entreats
Just hear those savage beats
And go put on your cleats
And come and trample me
Your heart is hard as stone or mahogany
That's why I'm in such exquisite agony
My soul is on fire
It's aflame with desire
Which is why I perspire when we tango
You caught my nose
In your left castanet, love
I can feel the pain yet, love
Ev'ry time I hear drums
And I envy the rose
That you held in your teeth, love
With the thorns underneath, love
Sticking into your gums
Your eyes cast a spell that bewitches
The last time I needed twenty stitches
To sew up the gash
You made with your lash
As we danced to the Masochism Tango
Bash in my brain
And make me scream with pain
Then kick me once again
And say we'll never part
I know too well
I'm underneath your spell
So, darling, if you smell
Something burning, it's my heart . . . (hiccup)
'Scuse me!
Take your cigarette from its holder
And burn your initials in my shoulder
Fracture my spine
And swear that you're mine
As we dance to the Masochism Tango
