Enable 480p and use the arrow icon! "The Masochism Tango" is now REPUBLISHED to celebrate a lot of video views for the first version published to YouTube. Why? Well, to offer the song in slightly better quality. The old version is still on the channel. This song is a typical Tom Lehrer original comment and it 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:

In 2008 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.
