    This was one of the first songs by Tim I downloaded onto my iPod Touch, and who would have thought I'd see him sing it live (and explain swing percentages) in 2024 for his Unfunny Evening tour! ❤️

    Pleasure is the act of listening to Tim Minchin.
    The opposite of pleasure is a day when your Internet is out and you can't get to any of his songs.

    @vgirl120592 The sadist would occasionally say yes. A large part of the sadistic mindset is to be in control. So, thus being able to control when she (the masochist) feels pain and pleasure gives the sadist a feeling of elation. Inflicting the pain after it is begged for is far more satisfying. It gives you power, and it gives you the pleasure of hurting, and even of pleasing your partner.

    @superaled Tango is a Latin beat, musicians in the United States have always been inspired by Latin grooves. Anyone calling themselves a musician are easily influenced by Latin beats, blues harmonies, etc. You can't escape it. Tango is often heard in its simplified form. Watch a video about Lalo Guerrero, someone you have probably never even heard about, or Santana. Listen to music before and after Latin music was heard on the radio. Examples: Elvis, George Clinton, Beatles, Everybody.

    Or is my masochist cheating by enjoying psychological abuse?

    There are other of Minchin's pieces I'd compare to Lehrer's work, but this isn't one of them.
    This is much closer to Zappa than to Lehrer. Brilliantly inventive, especially rhythmically. The only similarity with Lehrer is the title -- and anyway, Lehrer's Masochism Tango was actually about being a masochist, whereas this isn't :)
    I love them both, by the way ...

    @lastofthebadmen fair point but remember that there have been nigh on 50 years more music to influence Tim and there are much looser social morals restraining him. I think asking who is better is like questioning whether a seed is better than a flower.

      If a lift and a foreskin were both dropped at the same time, wouldn't they fall at the same speed? I think the formula would be: Vl + Vf = 0, or something like that. I don't know, I'm not a scientist or anything.

    @lastofthebadmen Lehrer and Tim are completely different in style and execution, I guess Tim was inspired by the tango, but his music is entirely his own, Lehrer used alot of other pieces of music and put new words to them, comparing the two is not only difficult but almost entirely unproductive, Lehrer is probably closer to Amateur Transplants, while Tim more closely resembles Flanders and Swann

    My irony isn't as good as Tim Minchins, but you just didn't notice that I had used any. All that demonstartes is that you genuinely struggle with the different types of "Your" and as a result think that they are hard to handle, resulting in your eager correction of people. Truth is, any idiot can use them correctly, don't patronise people and then insult others' humour to try to cover your inability.
