The Masochism Tango, Tom Lehrer. Speaking of burn, lots of suitable imagery in this classic.

🎵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🎵

I just went down the Tom Lehrer rabbit hole (once again). Such a brilliantly witty satirist & pianist, and creator of some of the best worst puns & internal tortured rhymes you could ever wish for (and I say that as a card-carrying #Sondheim fan 🙃)

and he’s still alive! 😜

I hope you all know his wonderful body of work already, but if not – strap in, you’re one of today’s lucky 10,000…! 🎉🎉🎉

enjoy his biting ditties in glorious B&W…

As February comes to an end so too do I wind down my program of allegedly lustful, passionate and romantic songs for #StupidAccordionTricks. Here’s a wacky old specimen of that style of tune, #TomLehrer’s #MasochismTango from 1959’s “An Evening Wasted With Tom Lehrer”. If ever a song could serve as a compelling reminder to use protection in your libidinous dealings, it’s this one!
