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! ❤️
Fun fact: tim wrote this song for his friend who had a few months prior had his girlfriend dump him, then she called back and said maybe they should get together again. So tim wrote this song
THIS SONG IS FROM 2001. FROM THE ALBUM "SIT". TIM MINCHIN AND TIMMY THE DOG IS THE BAND. GET THAT ALBUM!!!IT IS THE GREATES THING EVER!IS NOT AS GOOD AS TIM´S SOLO CARREER BUT IT IS AWESOME!!!MIRACLE ELIXIR IS MY FAVOURITE!!!!!SO RHCP LIKE!
Take heart, he recently released a new CD, the audio from his live show "Ready For This...?": a kind fan might upload a vid with a track some time soon :)
Timmy the Dog is epic. The album 'Sit' may not be available for purchase, but it is available if you know where to look. Highly recommend getting it. Tim needs to hurry up and make another album like this.
@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. Just thought I would elaborate a bit.
@lastofthebadmen Tom Lehrer started it, and started it well. Tim Minchin has taken it to the next level. Now, what I'd like to see is a Lehrer / Minchin duet. It would be epic by definition. Better hurry, though, while Lehrer's still around.
@thelevellers Thanks, I sorta went to a live show of Iron Maiden's on the 16th, I made a vow of sorts to go to at least 6 shows a year, it is like my new years resolution, lol.
@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.
Very interesting comment, given that I was wondering just last night what Frank would have thought of Tim. And also Reggie Watts. I agree, I think Frank would have enjoyed it.
if Frank Zappa was alive..... he would have LOVED Tim Minchin..... tho this sounds a bit Zappa inspired.... very avant-garde jazzy ... what not and highly absurd
This song was part of his more "serious" album called Sit. It was made with his previous band, Timmy the Dog, so it wouldn't really be TOO comedic. It's still a nice song, though.
@heyawhaw I love that comment :). 1 thing, is there not the potential for a paradox in the following manner?: Masochist craves physical abuse>>Sadist with-holds it>>Masochist enjoys psychological abuse>>Sadist dishes out physical abuse>>back to start. 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.
He is brilliant, I just wish I could go see one of his shows, but I would only be able to go on my own as noone I know likes his stuff, so I just don't bother.
Wow! I made a typo! I truly am an idiot. Do you not think it is odd that I would make a mistake in response to a correction of the same mistake? Nevermind, we might as well be 10 minutes back in time that you change your mind. Carry on thumbdowning.
@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 That said it's still a good song
It's strange that he revived this Timmy The Dog song, while its the most fitting from Sit, it still doesn't really fit with the rest of his material. Still, good song
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. Grammar isn't intellectual, language is merely the plate upon which intellect is served.
Tim do a jazz album ...... Atheistic jazz baby! Tim you rock! Well jazz... Well pop well.... If I didn't have you do someone else would do.... But who?
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.
I'm religious now. I converted to Minchinism, the worshipping of the one and only true god, Tim Mincin
at least you can prove that tim exists
What irony since Tim is an avowed atheist!
I read Minchinism as Masochism at first...
@@mengyft Swoosh!!!!!
Tim Minchin is my Jesus and only to him do I worship......and also my husband. 😉☺
A masochist says to a sadist " whip me, beat me, give me pain" the sadist says........ NO
love your comment man mad me laugh as much as the song IDK why
The masochist loves the pain of denial
Fun fact: tim wrote this song for his friend who had a few months prior had his girlfriend dump him, then she called back and said maybe they should get together again. So tim wrote this song
It was actually for his brother who he was living with at the time. So his brother could sing it in their band
@@jacobdellepalme9297 yes! Came to say the same thing. did you go to one of his recent shows?
@@cerealdude890 I saw him In Toronto. Lol
wow! I've never heard any of his early stuff. And I LOVE jazz!!
I think Tim should play some more of his Timmy The Dog era songs live, especially Fancy That. I love that song.
wow...funky..jazzy and funny..been looking out for something like this for years...the mans alegend!!!
Ah, my two biggest loves... Saxophone solos and Tim Minchin.
Damn that's catchy
oh my god. the joke was that the lack of pain is pain for a masochist.
I just discovered this guy.. and he is truly awesome :D
Reminds me of Tom Leher and if you don't know who he is, goo gle it lol he did Masochism tango, very cutting edgy back in his day.
What a GREAT tune!!! What a great musician he is...
Tim Minchin. Tom Waits. Buckethead. Somebody make these guys join forces.
THIS SONG IS FROM 2001. FROM THE ALBUM "SIT". TIM MINCHIN AND TIMMY THE DOG IS THE BAND. GET THAT ALBUM!!!IT IS THE GREATES THING EVER!IS NOT AS GOOD AS TIM´S SOLO CARREER BUT IT IS AWESOME!!!MIRACLE ELIXIR IS MY FAVOURITE!!!!!SO RHCP LIKE!
SMOOOOTH & GROOOOOOOOOOOVY SOUNDS IN THIS SONG.
Thanks for this.
Sincerely.
It's from his old bad timmy the dog, the album was called 'sit'
Take heart, he recently released a new CD, the audio from his live show "Ready For This...?": a kind fan might upload a vid with a track some time soon :)
"I'd rather staple my foreskin to the roof of a descending lift." Ow. XD
a sadist is a masochist who follows the golden rule
Timmy the Dog is epic. The album 'Sit' may not be available for purchase, but it is available if you know where to look. Highly recommend getting it. Tim needs to hurry up and make another album like this.
Just ended a 'friendship' with my ex who was an absolute jerk! Tim makes me smile and this song describes how I feel. Pure Minchin magic! :D

Just thought I would elaborate a bit.
Is it weird that he reminds me of both Frank Zappa and Tom Lehrer?
this is awesome, sounds nice and jazz =)
@lastofthebadmen

You're reading my mind, buddy!
You know..Its not the same without seeing his face..
Being a Dom is different than being a Sadist, even if both traits are often expressed in the same person. Just thought I would elaborate a bit.
whatever she said... NO ONE else can like this! We are at a balanced number
Wow, this is really catchy.
@ExtendedWeekend buy the cd or get the downlaod at his website
we all have out masters in psych. (thumbs up if this sounds a tad familiar)
Good grammar is hot. Thank God for intellectual people on the internet.
Quite right. Quite right.
Very interesting comment, given that I was wondering just last night what Frank would have thought of Tim. And also Reggie Watts. I agree, I think Frank would have enjoyed it.
if Frank Zappa was alive..... he would have LOVED Tim Minchin..... tho this sounds a bit Zappa inspired.... very avant-garde jazzy ... what not and highly absurd
or even worse your internet decides to only work enough to load the page and when you click play its just never ending loading O.o
FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT!!!
This song was part of his more "serious" album called Sit. It was made with his previous band, Timmy the Dog, so it wouldn't really be TOO comedic. It's still a nice song, though.
proud of my masochistic ways!!!!!!

I love them both, by the way ...
Who the hell is Tom??
Very nice, but I can't figure out where I heard the instrumental part before.
Anybody ?
@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.
I had uploaded one of the songs from Sit and Tim asked me to take it off. How comes this one is still here?
@superaled We all were inspired by tango.
it's actually not as painful as you might imagine.. if you are suspended from the ceiling of said descending lift with fishhooks and wire
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.
@pickaflower Thanks for the tip!
Fusion with aspects of retro... but yeah totally.
@Keldaryth Ahaha, good point.
I don't see it, check to see if you can upgrade your flash
He is brilliant, I just wish I could go see one of his shows, but I would only be able to go on my own as noone I know likes his stuff, so I just don't bother.
@jamessgray2010 I absolutely agree
unless you have tickets I can't, I can't spring for tickets right now, any chance you could get some?
Where is this from ? This exact version, I mean.
Great tune,and fucking funny
@AllThatIveGot1 as in from the famous five? what has he got to do with anything?
@kpg3191 oh, thanks! :D
ITT: conflating dominance and sadism.
larrrrrrrv the youtube wars.... lmao!
@planetofthescums Not to detract from your point - but Tim's Australian, so to say 'Musicans in the United States' immediately excludes him.
Damn, I have to google him now :L
did you know there are actually other islands outside of america? and some of them aren't trying to attack your country =0.
Wow! I made a typo! I truly am an idiot.
Do you not think it is odd that I would make a mistake in response to a correction of the same mistake?
Nevermind, we might as well be 10 minutes back in time that you change your mind. Carry on thumbdowning.
To cool cat
very true
what is this actually from? It's not the one on Sit...
@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
That said it's still a good song
wait.... is he doing Dave Mathews?
two masochists in the bed room, now wouldn't that be a dangerous relationship
you would know
i'm pretty sure it's from his old band "timmy the dog"
@vgirl120592 But sadists don't enjoy it because the masochists like it and it is technically not causing pain
@Masterkavi How did you pronounce it?
I think I may be a bit of a masochist having now looked up what it is... ... ... HA, okay XD
@Reubin100 ill go with you ;)
It's strange that he revived this Timmy The Dog song, while its the most fitting from Sit, it still doesn't really fit with the rest of his material. Still, good song

Yore dam rite.
@facelessaphrodisiac same, but me and my ex are best mates now.
I think you mean: "Yeah, it's sad how many people there are on the Internet who barely know what grammar is"
But I'll let it slide this time *wink*.
@heyawhaw the sadist would say yes.... masochist get pleasure from pain as where a sadist gets pleasure from inflicting pain
15 people clearly stapled their foreskin to a decending lift

Do YOU really think that horton heard a who??
what show is this from
Tim do a jazz album ...... Atheistic jazz baby!
Tim you rock! Well jazz... Well pop well....
If I didn't have you do someone else would do.... But who?
oh, the irony.
nothing like Tom Lehrer.
Well damn. Always pronounced Masochist differently... Suppose I never will again.
I dunno, he's taking pleasure in killing that piano 👌
Mの歌
sadist may be having pleasure by not doing what the other persson does want him/her to do :)
@Lycanslayer3 Of course you can escape latin beats, you are taking this way too literally. Cuba is a latin country.
Masochistic tributes, UNITE!!
